Build Your First Website with Django 2.1: Master the Basics of Django While Building a Fully-Functioning Website

This book was obviously written by a programmer who speaks plain English.I had been dabbling with Python and Django, just to get some working code. Along the way, I had more and more questions. Then I bought this book, and it was like a mystery-solver. Chapters 1 through 3 offered "a-ha" moments every single page. I'm now on chapter 4, and feel like it was already worth the cost.I do think that getting some "hands-on" before reading the book (like I did) is helpful. For me, doing so turned the first three chapters from abstraction to concrete.

It has given me the basic tools and understanding of Django in such a comprehensive way. Highly recommended.
