Re: Short I hope explanation
Thanks for shout out. And I will move on to them, but I like to understand things the hard way first. I think it gives a strong foundation when you finally do move on to the time saver things. The thing is as I understand it, is that there are times that you will need to do things long hand. I would like to have a good understanding of that when the time comes instead of the OMG googlerama I've got a dead line why now thing. But thanks it's good information.
Never found a fact I didn't like.

When I first dove into Django, everything was confusing. I can't say I ever used the book because I wanted to use class-based-views immediately (was recommended in IRC). They were confusing as could be, I constantly needed hand-holding, etc...Eventually, I started to understand things a bit more, was able to comprehend and use the docs, and finally I'm at the point where I just refer to the actual source code when I want to get something done with them. It was a steep learning curve with the lack of good documentation on them but I *highly* recommend using them. They will save you a lot of time in the end. Just my 2 cents :)If I knew of a good place to post them, I'd be happy to write up a tutorial with some cool tricks in my free time. A wiki would be best because others (especially those more knowledgeable than I) could also contribute.--

Have you checked out the djangobook.com http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/
Its a little dated in that it doesn't cover Class based generic views.
But it does walk you thru the individual pieces before it puts them
together and then rolls into the shortcuts
