Pro Django Book preview

Hi everyone!

Has anyone previewed the book on Django which is about to be
released
by Apress?

http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Django-Developmen
t-Done-Right/dp/1590597257

Is it a good book for beginners to pick up and explore?

I'm just starting and I am starting to see patterns but I'd
love a
properly structured course.

I believe that the word from on-high is that the current
release date
for the book is... wrong. Expect it later rather than
sooner, Adrian
et. al. are still working on it.

Damn...

I really would like a more structured tutorial course than
the
scattered ones about right now.  Are there any others out
there apart
from the Django Projects page aimed at real beginners?

There's an IBM DeveloperWorks tutorial (don't know the URL
off hand).
Most people seem to just do the tutorial, and start
self-learning from
there. That's what I did, and I had never even done HTML/CSS
before,
let alone web programming! (Although I have years and years
of Python
experience).

There are a decent number of Django sites that provide their
source
code. djangoproject.com being one of them. I developed
http://jayparlar.com to
learn some Django, and I did http://awwca.ca
as my second project, a volunteer gig for a local community
association. The code for both can be found at
http://svn.jay
parlar.com/website/trunk

The awwca.ca site is interesting (I think) in that it has a
fair
number of apps running, but it's ALL generic views (except
for the
'stockphoto' app, which is derived from somewhere else).

The Django community page lists a ton of other Django
developed sites,
and many of them will provide their code.

Other than that... This group is phenomenal when you need
help, as is
the IRC channel.
