Mastering Django

SAVE over 50% with Early Access.

Mastering Django is back, fully rewritten for Django 6.x and Python 3.14. You’ll learn Django the same way as in earlier editions: plain English, working code, and a single project, MyClub, a sporting club website, that grows chapter by chapter.

What’s new in this edition:

  • All code updated for modern Django, with Django 3-era patterns replaced
  • Template partials
  • Async views and the async ORM
  • Signals and the messages framework
  • The new background tasks framework
  • Django channels
  • Hook Django to AI tools

What you get with early access:

  • Chapters as they’re completed in an easy to print PDF (US letter size).
  • Downloadable source code for each chapter.
  • The finished PDF edition when it’s done, at no extra cost (saving you $30).
  • Updates and bonus material by email as the book comes together.
