[Django]-Django 1.7 – Cannot find tutorials

5👍

The official django tutorial is up-to-date with the release version:

This tutorial is written for Django 1.7 and Python 3.2 or later. If
the Django version doesn’t match, you can refer to the tutorial for
your version of Django by using the version switcher at the bottom
right corner of this page, or update Django to the newest version.

Also, since the biggest change in 1.7 is migrations, you should probably take some extra time and study the docs on migrations.

As a side note, 1.7 is in beta currently. You should probably start out with the latest stable version, which is 1.6.5.

Another pretty important note is that Django 1.7 requires Python 2.7 or above.

This is an excellent looking tutorial which would be a great followup to the official Django documentation.

http://souldeux.com/blog/django-note-app-tutorial-part-1-layout-file-structure/

http://arunrocks.com/recreating-the-building-a-blog-in-django-screencast/ also looks good, but is going to make you work a little harder to follow along.

Lastly, https://realpython.com/ has paid tutorials, which are well worth the money in my opinion. These tutorials are more advanced though. So I would recommend doing the first three and trying to build a simple app on your own before you start these.

If you are just getting started with Django, I highly recommend the Django Girl tutorial. It takes small steps and explained things better than other tutorials I did, including the Django Project’s tutorial.

The official docs are pretty good. After you get the basics on django you can try the two scoops of django book. This book has a ton of useful info and even if it was written for django 1.6 most of the information is still relevant.
You can use their project template for django 1.7 that already has preinstalled the basic apps you should need and a structure that will allow you to ease the building of your project.

I have to check Obey the testing goat too (It is updated for django 1.7).
