django Basics
Django has a lot of documentation. A high-level overview of how it’s organized will help you know where to look for
certain things:
• Tutorials take you by the hand through a series of steps to create a Web application. Start here if you’re new to
Django or Web application development. Also look at the “First steps” below.
• Topic guides discuss key topics and concepts at a fairly high level and provide useful background information
and explanation.
• Reference guides contain technical reference for APIs and other aspects of Django’s machinery. They describe
how it works and how to use it but assume that you have a basic understanding of key concepts.
• How-to guides are recipes. They guide you through the steps involved in addressing key problems and use-cases.
They are more advanced than tutorials and assume some knowledge of how Django works.
