The Django Web framework has created quite a stir in recent months, and for good reason; it’s a pretty brilliant piece of work. Used to power popular website showcases such as Chicagocrime.org, and downloaded by thousands of users from around the globe, Django seems to be living up to its assertion of being the framework for “perfectionists with deadlines”.

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Django creator Adrian Holovaty and lead developer Jacob Kaplan-Moss on their forthcoming Apress book introducing the framework, titled “Pro Django: Web Development Done Right”. You can preorder it now on Amazon.com.

The book will be published under the GFDL and will eventually be made available for free download on the Django website. However, in the meantime we’re encouraging others to post feedback about each chapter on the super-sweet commenting system Adrian and Jacob have recently setup. Currently two chapters are available (1 and 2), and you can read them and post comments at http://www.djangobook.com/.
