Show HN: I published a book on Django

4 points by asadjb 9y ago ↗ HN

I recently published a book on Django and wanted to share it with the HN community. The book takes a beginner Django developer through a series of 7 projects that use various parts of the Django framework.

I would have loved to provide a full sample chapter, unfortunately all I have is part of the first chapter. You can see it at https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/quick-user-authentication-setup-django.

I'd love any feedback you guys can give. And I'll answer any questions that you may have as well. The book is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Django-Project-Blueprints-Jibran-Ahmed/dp/1783985429/ and on Safari Books Online at https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/django-project-blueprints/9781783985425/.

I have the impression that building a website for a book is a recent practice that helps authors promote their work. That might be worth considering for the next one.

Good luck.

Thanks. You're right, creating a web site dedicated to the book seems like a good idea. I might even try that for this one.

Hmmm...I wonder what technology it might use. Anyway, my impression is that the critical time for the website is at launch and that after that it's diminishing returns.
