In this version of the online tutorial / book, we have updated and added a number of things:
The code has been ported to work with Django 1.7
- The database interaction has been updated from syncdb to migratesql and migrate
- Rendering responses has been updated from render_to_response to render. So now there is no need to request the context in every view.
- The url template tag is now being used in templates, which provides a relative reference to urls rather than an absolute reference..
- Loading static files in the templates is now done with {% load staticfiles %}
- Using slugify to create well formed URL strings
A new chapter on authentication has been added
- Where the login and registration is done with Django-Registration-Redux (see Chapter login-redux-label)
The Bootstrap chapter has been updated to use Bootstrap 3.2.0 (see Chapter bootstrap-chapter)
- Also, includes some notes on how to use Django-Bootstrap-Toolkit
A new chapter has been added on using template tags (see Chapter template-tag-chapter )
Add a chapter on using JQuery with Django (see Chapter jquery)
The chapter on testing has been expanded - but is still a work in progress (see Chapter test-chapter)
