Re: Creating a "Django Course" and would like some feedback

A small update, I just completed the first chapter and laid out the rest of the chapters which will be made available.  You can view the current chapter list on my Uarica project page:

http://uarica.com/+12

Here's the link to the chapter list of the "Core Framework" section:
http://www.uarica.com/kveroneau/django-course/Apps/Wiki/CoreFramework

Let me know what you think of the current list of Chapters, I know "jQuery" isn't technically part of the Core Framework, but it's not an app either.  Anything which doesn't require external Django apps will be placed in "Core Framework".  Many people seem to be asking about jQuery and Django, and it's one of the top search terms coming to my blog, so expect this chapter to be extensive.

Hello everyone!

  It's been quite sometime since I have been on here, well I came back with some great news!  I am currently in the process of building an online Django web course aimed at both new and old Django developers.  I will be charging a minimal fee for access to the entire course, but the first 3 chapters of the main sections will be free for everyone to read and enjoy.  The course software itself is built using Django naturally.

  The course software has been completed and uploaded online.  I am now in the lengthily process of writing up all the chapters, quizzes, example code, and full projects.  This is going to be a large amount of work, however at the current moment this is my only job and that is why I am planning on charging for admittance.  I am aiming to have a large amount of it completed by around the middle of June and ready for public consumption shortly after.

  I have decided to give a lucky few free access to the entire course for the purpose of reviewing and providing me with feedback.  If you are interested, please reply back to me and explain why I should select you.  I will then select 5 lucky individuals and email them their access credentials and a link to the actual course's website when it's ready.

  Here's a little background information about myself, since I haven't been on here recently.  I am the current maintainer and author of PythonDiary.com, which has been a relatively successful Python blog since January of 2012.  Over 500 users visit the blog each day, and if a new article is available this amount can increase to over 1,000 hits.  Many of my articles and tutorials are related to Django, and most of my user base uses Django or wants to learn it.  I have received many requests from users to expand on my Django tutorials, however I lack the personal time required to write these articles.  To that affect, I have ultimately decided to create an entire Django web-based course for a very low cost.  The cost is much cheaper than a typical Django book available today and will touch on more advanced concepts and also explain how to integrate and use popular 3rd party Django apps.  After reading many Django books, I always see them missing on some key concepts or don't explain how to use particular 3rd party apps.  I have been building Django powered websites since around 2010 and have a large amount of experience with the framework that I can share with others.
