About the Author
First and foremost, I would like to thank the original authors of the Django Book-Adrian Holovaty and Jacob Kaplan-Moss. They provided such a strong foundation that it has really been a delight writing this new edition.
Equal first in the shout out has to be the Django community. Vibrant and collaborative, the Django community is what really stood out to this cynical old businessman many years ago when I first discovered the ānew kid on the webframework blockā. Itās your support that makes Django so great. Thank you.
