Django and 10 Best Tutorial Resources

hdr_logo I have a friend who teaches computer subject on elementary school, he desperately trying to make Python as the first computer language a student should learn in school.

He defend how simple a python syntax compare to other language like C, C++ or Java. but of course his persuasion doesnt work like a charm, more teachers prefer the old time favourite like c.

But the Django project, seems to make my friend more anxious in putting python on the map, with one of the factors is that django probably have one of the most complete and accessible online documentation on its project among other open sources.

Django is a web development framework to help developer in building complex web application, this will give python programmer competitive edge. As you can see in TIOBE Programming index, python is on the top 10 of the most popular and widely used programming language.

Django is designed to work in a slightly modified Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. MVC is a software engineering architecture concept describing how a program can change the visual aspect and the business aspect without affecting one another. The original Django developers refer to it as a model, template and view (MTV) framework.
