Paperback. You know Python. Now build something people can open.You can write a function, loop over a list, and read a traceback. The next thing you want to build is something other people can use, which means a web framework. You have heard of Django, opened its documentation, met the word middleware, and closed the tab.This book starts there.One project, from an empty directory to a live URL. You build Sidenote, a blog with a newsletter: posts, tags, cover images, comments that get moderated before they appear, a second writer allowed to draft but not publish, a confirmed-opt-in mailing list, a test suite, and a deployment. Every chapter adds to the same codebase, so you finish with one real application instead of twelve half-built tutorials in twelve folders.Written for Django 6.1. That matters more than it usually does. Django 6.1 deprecated a set of patterns almost every Django tutorial still teaches: bare select_related(), values_list(flat=True) with no field name, and the entire block of EMAIL_* settings, now replaced by MAILERS. Follow an older book on a fresh install and your terminal fills with warnings it cannot explain.

You know Python. Now build something people can open.
You can write a function, loop over a list, and read a traceback. The next thing you want to build is something other people can use, which means a web framework. You have heard of Django, opened its documentation, met the word middleware, and closed the tab.
This book starts there.
One project, from an empty directory to a live URL. You build Sidenote, a blog with a newsletter: posts, tags, cover images, comments that get moderated before they appear, a second writer allowed to draft but not publish, a confirmed-opt-in mailing list, a test suite, and a deployment. Every chapter adds to the same codebase, so you finish with one real application instead of twelve half-built tutorials in twelve folders.
Written for Django 6.1. That matters more than it usually does. Django 6.1 deprecated a set of patterns almost every Django tutorial still teaches: bare select_related(), values_list(flat=True) with no field name, and the entire block of EMAIL_* settings, now replaced by MAILERS. Follow an older book on a fresh install and your terminal fills with warnings it cannot explain. Here you learn the current way, and you are shown the old way once, clearly labelled, because you will inherit it in somebody else's codebase.
What you will learn
- Models and migrations, including how to add a required column to a table that already has rows in it
- The ORM properly: querysets, lookups, relationships, and the N+1 query problem you will then spot by sight
- The Django admin, and the firm line where it stops being the right tool
- Templates, autoescaping, and template partials, new in Django 6
- Forms and validation, with CSRF explained rather than incanted
- Authentication, groups, and permissions, driven by one rule: Meera writes, you publish
- Email the modern way, with MAILERS and proper double opt-in
- Testing with pytest and factories, including a query-count test that finds a real bug in the book's own code
- Deployment: PostgreSQL, WhiteNoise, Gunicorn, and the first six things that will break
Assumes you can write a Python function and a class. It does not teach Python. It teaches everything web-shaped, from the raw HTTP request onwards.
15 chapters. One project. A URL at the end.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
