1 Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development |
|
2 and clean, pragmatic design. |
|
3 |
|
4 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/index.txt for instructions. |
|
15 |
|
16 * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics) |
|
17 next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific |
|
18 problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details. |
|
19 |
|
20 Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they |
|
21 should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket |
|
