Re: Seeking reviewers for a "Guide to Idiomatic Django Deployment"

Hi George,

As a fellow relative n00b to Django (and 'serious' web development), I think this is a very good idea. I'm working through Harry Percival's excellent book, and only got hopelessly lost during the deployment chapter (admittedly, I was attempting to deploy to 'production' through my development machine - an effort which succeeded principally in FUBARing my Apache settings for about a week, and possibly sucking knowledge of unix sockets etc out of my brain. Lessons have been learned).

More broadly, one of the first major brain-teasers for PHP refugees (*cough*) coming to Django or Rails or whatever is the loss of that "open filezilla, upload folder, done" deployment workflow.

Obviously I'm not the person to help you with this, however. :-)

Wouldn't it be better to publish the book the same way as the Django Book (http://www.djangobook.com/https://github.com/jacobian/djangobook.com) instead of looking for private reviewers?

Hi All!

As a fairly recently self-taught Djangonaut, I was a bit dissatisfied with the existing resources for learning to deploy Django in a production setting. There are lots of blog posts about how to configure specific services but really not much that recommends which services to use or how to bring everything together (except for guides like http://www.deploydjango.com/ that recommend just using Heroku.)

I think it would be really helpful for new-comers to have a clear, opinionated guide to "commonly accepted (i.e. idiomatic)" deployment best practices. Or at least I know it would have really helped me.

So I decided to write such a guide. I'm painfully aware that it's presumptuous for someone with my limited experience to make "best practices" recommendations. So to avoid recommending things that are dumb, I'm hoping some of our community's heavy weights could heavy-weigh in and verify that my recommendations make sense.

I've got a full draft prepared. If you'd be interested in reviewing it (or can recommend someone I should ask directly), please email me directly.
