The Django 101 tutorial is based on http://www.django-workshop.de and covers the first three chapters. By creating a cookbook application, you will get to know following aspects of Django:

The tutorial will take about 4 hours.

The learning materials are created with Sphinx and stored in the OpenTechSchool/Django-101 GitHub repository.
