I recently received a message from someone at Packt Publishing regarding the new book Django 1.0 Website Development. She gave me an opportunity to check out the book in pdf version, and I really liked it. It's a great tutorial that runs through a neat project for beginner to experienced Django programmers.

I've been using Django for almost a year now, and throughout the book even the topics I knew already were not boring. I even picked up a few ideas and got some tips that I will use on my project for work!

This book explains in detail many of the pieces of Django that aren't even in Django's own documentation. The Django messages feature and how to use Django's built in comments system are just two places where I've always had to write my own, because I couldn't find enough details on how to use the built in ones.

Besides a few errors where the text didn't match the code examples, I give this booktorial an 'A'.

This book from Packt Publishing has made me look into this book: Expert Python Programming. I think it could really help fine tune my programming skills especially with Python which is my programming language of choice as of late.
