Over the past few weeks I've been busy coding, planning, and recording a series of screencasts which walk through the complete process of building a web application, from the ground up, with Django. First I actually needed to code the site, deploy the site, and release the source code for the site. Then, I had to go back and decide what in that whole process was worth talking about. Finally, I had to re-code the site, but this time in front of the camera. It's been a long process so far and I'm not finished yet, but tonight is the night that I am finally able to unveil the first two episodes.
If you haven't checked them out yet, head over to their spot on thisweekindjango.com.
One thing that I'm a little bit worried about is that, by the very nature of going every step along the way, there are going to be some times where a topic I cover is on the more advanced side of things, and there are going to be topics that I cover which are on the more beginner side of things. That can be fine, but there's a risk that in targeting such a broad audience, nobody ends up enjoying it. As long as at least one person gets something out of the screencasts, I'll be happy.
So please, I only have 7 screencasts recorded so far, which means there is still time to turn this boat around! If you have any suggestions or comments or questions, please leave a comment either here or on the episode's page at thisweekindjango.com.

Bingo you hit the right spot. Setting up the version control looks awesome, there are no tutorials on the web showing such stuff. Looking forward to hear more on fab deploy. I haven't used it but know the basic.
By the views for events app is simply beautiful. How do you plan before writing your code? I mean how the logic goes?

Thanks! I don't go in with much of a plan, usually...I just start coding. Wish I could be more help there :)

so i watched all 12 of your screen casts and it's probably been the most useful django resource i've come across so far. thanks for that. i did register with the site and have a question about it. is there a reason i can't think of that events i create are not automatically attended by myself? i understand the situation could come up, but it seems to me that more often it would be true. anyway, thanks again for the great screencasts.

Badly need your help. I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
I am from Sri and bad know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "The best flea removal on cats comes from the spot treatments recent to the market."
With respect ;), Marsala.

Good post.This would be compounded by fact that Apache may also dynamically spawn additional processes if number of concurrent requests greater than initial number of processes.Thanks,
