  Django, the Python-based equivalent to Ruby's Rails web development framework, is one of the hottest topics in web development today. Lead developer Jacob Kaplan-Moss and Django creator Adrian Holovaty show you how they use this framework to create award-winning web sites by guiding you through the creation of a web application reminiscent of ChicagoCrime.org.

  The Definitive Guide to Django is broken into three parts, with the first introducing Django fundamentals such as installation and configuration, and creating the components that together power a Django-driven web site. The second part delves into the more sophisticated features of Django, including outputting non-HTML content such as RSS feeds and PDFs, caching, and user management. The appendixes serve as a detailed reference to Django's many configuration options and commands.
