This is announcement about our new work, Django design patterns, a ebook about, well, Django design patterns. (Well imagine that!). Here is the readme copied from there.
[Edit] Syntax highlighting and indentation preservation were totally brroken. Fixed now.
Django design patterns is a book about commonly occuring patterns in Django. Not patterns in Gof sense, but patterns in the sense, we work this way, and it works for us. For us it is a ~pattern of work~ sense.
At this point this is just a lot of brain dump from us.
The latest sources are always available from http://github.com/uswaretech/django-design-patterns/tree/master and latest html from http://djangodesignpatterns.uswaretech.net/
Please leave errata, feedback, critique as comments here.
This is still very much a work in progress, released in the spirit of release early, release often. Click here to get it, or fork it on Github

This is really interesting. Thanks for doing it.
I’d like to keep up with the progress, but I didn’t find any rss on the github’s project file, so I don’t know if it’s possible.
This is really awesome, going to keep up with the progress
@tiago here you go. http://github.com/feeds/uswaretech/commits/django-design-patterns/master
Or follow us on twitter(@uswaretech), where we will make announcement, when we do a major update to the book.
Thanks, shabda!
I just skimmed through and already picked up some great ideas. Thanks a ton for this!
thanks, very handy. Is your github download up to date by any chance? I noticed a small typo that may trip noobies to django in the multiple model manager’s section: class ModelClassApprovedOnlyManager(models.Manager): self.get_query_set().filter(is_approved = True)
the code does not include the def statement and all… but again this is for internal use i guess
Under Workflow, varius is a typo
This is a great thing you have done!
I will definitely use this to improve my Django understanding and skills!
As of right now the formatting is faulty, losing crucial whitespace.

Glad to see I’m already following a lot of these patterns. Love docs like this, even though it has some typos, spelling errors, etc. Also, picked up some tricks that I feel stupid for not picking up previously.

This needs a *lot* of flushing out, and many more code & app examples. A section on data denormalization would be great.
