About the Book

Welcome to the second edition of The Definitive Guide to Django, informally known as The Django Book! This book aims to teach you how to use the Django Web framework to develop Web sites efficiently. When Jacob Kaplan-Moss and I wrote the first edition of this book, Django was still in a pre-1.0 stage. Once Django version 1.0 was released, with its several backward-incompatible changes, the first edition inevitably became outdated and people began demanding an update. I'm happy to report this edition covers Django 1.1 and should serve you well for some time. My thanks go to the many contributors who posted comments, corrections, and rants to, the accompanying Web site for this book, where I posted chapter drafts as I wrote them. You guys are great. Adrian Holovaty Cocreator and co-Benevolent Dictator for Life, Django xxxiii Introduction In the early days, Web developers wrote every page by hand. Updating a Web site meant ed- ing HTML; a "redesign" involved redoing every single page, one at a time. As Web sites grew and became more ambitious, it quickly became obvious that that situation was tedious, time-consuming, and ultimately untenable. A group of enterprising hackers at NCSA (the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, where Mosaic, the first graphical Web browser, was developed) solved this problem by letting the Web server spawn external programs that could generate HTML dynamically. They called this protocol the Common Gateway Interface, or CGI, and it changed the Web forever.
About the Author: Adrian Holovaty, a web developer and journalist, is one of the creators and core developers of Django. He works at WashingtonPost.com, where he builds database web applications and does journalism as computer programming. Previously, he was lead developer for World Online in Lawrence, Kansas, where Django was created. When not working on Django improvements, Adrian hacks on side projects for the public good, such as ChicagoCrime.org, which won the 2005 Batten Award for Innovations in Journalism. He lives in Chicago and maintains a weblog at www.Holovaty.com.
