What Hacker News says
- The Django tutorial is pretty good. You build up a very basic polling application as you follow the tutorial and learn the basic chunks of Django.

Any good intro book is going to have something similar. "Python Web Development with Django" includes a number of example projects. You can either follow along in the book and type in the examples (the "Hard" way) or download the projects and see/run them at once in their finished form (the "Common" way).
- This is an excerpt (modified to fit a blog post) from the book I'm currently writing on Python web development with Django. Would love to get feedback from people. Is it useful? Does it cover the topic well? Thanks.

- It also might be worth pointing out the community size based on the frameworks. By looking at their respective IRC channels and/or Google Group sizes you can get a rough estimate how big each of their communities are. Overall, I've found any / all python web framework communities to be extremely helpful and friendly. I say that not to take away from the non-python frameworks because I don't have experience with them.
