A note about this edition

Welcome to the Web preview of the Django Book's second edition!

We're still working on writing/editing it, and that means two things.

  • First, it's (obviously) not done, as you can tell by the short chapter list. We'll be releasing chapters over the coming weeks. The previous edition is still available, but it assumes you're using Django 0.96, not version 1.0.
  • Second, we'd love your help. If you find any errors or have ideas on how certain sections can be improved, please use our comment system to leave a note on the appropriate paragraph. We'll work to integrate your suggestions.

Thanks for reading the book! We're happy we can offer it to you for free.
