Django design patterns
By : shabda

This is announcement about our new work, Django design patterns, a ebook about, well, Django design patterns. (Well imagine that!). Here is the readme copied from there.

[Edit] Syntax highlighting and indentation preservation were totally brroken. Fixed now.

Django design patterns is a book about commonly occuring patterns in Django. Not patterns in Gof sense, but patterns in the sense, we work this way, and it works for us. For us it is a ~pattern of work~ sense.

At this point this is just a lot of brain dump from us.

The latest sources are always available from http://github.com/uswaretech/django-design-patterns/tree/master and latest html from http://djangodesignpatterns.uswaretech.net/

Please leave errata, feedback, critique as comments here.

This is still very much a work in progress, released in the spirit of release early, release often. Click here to get it, or fork it on Github

Topics : django tips book

This is really interesting. Thanks for doing it.

I'd like to keep up with the progress, but I didn't find any rss on the github's project file, so I don't know if it's possible.

thanks, very handy. Is your github download up to date by any chance?
I noticed a small typo that may trip noobies to django in the multiple model manager's section:
class ModelClassApprovedOnlyManager(models.Manager):
self.get_query_set().filter(is_approved = True)

the code does not include the def statement and all... but again this is for internal use i guess

Under Workflow, varius is a typo

This is a great thing you have done!

I will definitely use this to improve my Django understanding and skills!

Amazon sells the eBook for $.99. But at B&N its 24 bucks. What gives? I've got a Nook but I'd rather pay the Amazon price.

As of right now the formatting is faulty, losing crucial whitespace.

Glad to see I’m already following a lot of these patterns. Love docs like this, even though it has some typos, spelling errors, etc. Also, picked up some tricks that I feel stupid for not picking up previously.

This needs a *lot* of flushing out, and many more code & app examples. A section on data denormalization would be great.
