Pythoneering

I don’t know, you wait ages for a book on Django, then suddenly two come along at once - the second one being Professional Python Frameworks: Web 2.0 Programming with Django and TurboGears, by Dana Moore, Raymond Budd and William Wright.

Actually, this particular tome has beaten Adrian and Jacob’s The Definitive Guide to Django to the bookshelves by a good month or more. I’ve only had the merest of chances to flick through it since it arrived from Amazon this morning, but it looks interesting. Once novel feature is an interview with TurboGears’ creator, Kevin Dangoor (but, regrettably, no equivalent interview with any of Django’s core developers). I’m looking forward to delving into this more deeply over the weekend, then comparing it with the official book in a month or so.

While we are on the subject of the official Django book, I notice that the cover has changed again:

Should help with brand recognition! I wonder how they persuaded Apress to let them use the Django logo in place of the regular styling used for the title text of every other Apress book?…
