Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development |
|---|
| 2 |
and clean, pragmatic design. |

|

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at |
|---|
| 5 |
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's |
|---|
| 6 |
how we recommend you read the docs: |
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 |
* First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django. |
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 |
* Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt, |
|---|
| 11 |
docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.). |
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 |
* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read |
|---|
| 14 |
docs/howto/deployment/modpython.txt for instructions on running Django |
|---|
| 15 |
under mod_python. |
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 |
* You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics) |
|---|
| 18 |
next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific |
|---|
| 19 |
problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details. |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they |
|---|
| 22 |
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket |
