New tutorial at SitePoint
The popular Web-development resource SitePoint has published a Django tutorial titled Django Djumpstart: Build a To-do List in 30 Minutes. It's written by James Bennett and goes over the Django basics.
Not only is it a good read -- it features a fantastic piece of artwork that melds Django the guitarist with Django the Web framework.

Nice to see more tutorials for Django coming out.

Who did the art, if you know?

I was wondering that myself, and James didn't know when I asked him. Artist, reveal yourself to your adoring fans!

Great tutorial to show off some cool features of Django!!

Hey guys, Matt Magain and I alternate on the feature article illustrations but I have to claim that one. I'm chuffed that you noticed it. Much appreciated.
We weren't sure how Django would sit with our audience, but so far the stats on that article have been quite strong so we'll be looking to try publish more Django content in future.

Great stuff, hope more people get into Django.

I have to say, Alex surpassed himself with that image, and James did a great job on the article itself.
Look out for more Django content on our site in the future. We're always happy to hear proposals for articles, by the way.

I think there should be more emphasis on the 4 space rule in Python (indents).
A lot of people copy and paste the code and wonder why they are getting function errors etc.
Alex Walker October 29, 2006 at 11:43 p.m.
Steven, there have been a few readers who have had some issues getting the code examples working, so I think you've got a point there. Point taken and we'll be more aware of that in future.

Worked through the tutorial on my site at webfaction and found it easy to understand. It is not as in depth as the official tutorial, but great for a 1st timer as me to use as a building block.
