Build a content management system, blog, and social networking site with guidance from James Bennett as he introduces the Django framework. You'll develop each project, implementing and running applications while discovering new features. Web frameworks are essential for creating compelling web applications, automating tedious tasks and allowing developers to focus on delivering creative and powerful user experiences. Python developers benefit from Django, a popular open-source framework designed to simplify the process of building better web applications quickly and with less code. This book is the first to introduce Django through real-world projects. You'll learn to leverage Django's well-defined architecture to accelerate web application development. By working through the creation of three practical projects, you'll gain hands-on experience. The book emphasizes building user-friendly websites with structured URLs, session tracking, and syndication options, while allowing Django to manage database interactions. This approach enables you to concentrate on crafting engaging applications. The book is ideal for web developers eager to harness the power of the Django framework to create dynamic websites.

Not all stories are made up . . . There's nothing special about Ben Garston. He's just a guy with an attitude in a beaten-up leather jacket, drowning his sorrows in a downtown bar. Or so he'd have you believe. What Ben Garston can't let you know is that he's also known as Red Ben. That the world of myth and legend isn't just a fantasy, as we've been led to believe. And there's no way he can let you know the secret of what's hiding right under his skin . . . But not even Ben knows what kind of hell is about to break loose. A centuries-old rivalry has just resurfaced, and the delicate balance between his world and ours is about to be shattered. What's coming won't be a fairytale.
