Django docs

11 November 2008

I think when you’re learning about something like Django, as well as having an actual project(s) to do, you need to have a book to read. I think one of the important aspects is the ability to flip through the pages and get an idea of the kinds of things that are possible and I've found this hard to do without a book. Luckily django comes with the docs built in. I built the html version of the docs (cd to docs folder and type make html) which is what I use mostly. It's also possible to build a pdf version from the same source. You have to change the configuration a bit, but luckily I found some instructions here

download django,

cd to docs

change conf.py, according to instructions here:

make latex

then cd into _build/latex

make all-pdf

open master_doc.pdf
