Django is a high-level Python web application framework designed to support the rapid development of dynamic web sites, web applications, and web services. It includes a template system that allows programmers and designers to easily and efficiently output their content in a flexible, extendable, and maintainable manner.
This book is a comprehensive, practical exploration of Django's template system. Developers and template authors will appreciate the introduction to Django templates, including an examination of views, generic views, and URL configurations to illustrate how incoming requests are handled and ultimately mapped to templates. Template inheritance and outputting different templates based on user agents are also covered.
The chapters on pagination, internationalization, caching, and customizing the admin application are example-driven so you can learn the concepts and later apply them as "recipes" in your own projects. For most examples, we will be working with an ongoing example project to show the power of combining your new skills together.
Whether large or small, complex or simple, I hope the techniques presented in this book serve you well in your Django projects.
