===========================
Teaching Django to Comrades
===========================

Who is your audience?
---------------------

* New to web programming
* New to Python

Where do you start?
-------------------

1. The tutorial.
2. Something else that they can build, from green pastures, with code reviews.
3. THEN get them working on your code.

What are some of the pain points?
---------------------------------

* Reverse relations
* Migrations
* Forms
    * What do I use?
    * Custom widgets?
    * Custom data?
* Where do random bits of code go?
* Existing methods or write my own?
* URLs

.. note:: If it's hard, and you're new, you're probably doing it wrong.

.. note:: Don't fight the system until you're assured victory.

**Deployment: don't start here.**

Consultants, tutorials, and convention videos are great starting resources.
