I wrote Hello Web App to teach Django + Python web app development by talking readers through creating a unique project (using a project template described in the tutorial): https://hellowebbooks.com/learn-django

I'm actually fundraising for the new edition of the book, updated for Python3+Django2.0: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1868398473/hello-web-ap...

If this were available right now, I would likely buy it! I am tasked with learning Django in the next couple of weeks.

This got me realizing that I usually purchase and consume tutorials on an as-needed basis and I usually want to start right away. I used to collect them but found it wasn’t very optimal because when I found the time to do the learning, I wanted something a little different. For what it’s worth, I don’t think your Kickstarter numbers would account for people like myself.

I bought Tracy's "Hello Web Design" book and it's fantastic! I would assume the Hello Web App book is also quite good.
