(Part 2) Best products from r/django

Noone has mentioned it yet but hands down the best django book is Marty Alchin's Pro Django.

It might not be the best for a person new to programming, or new to MVC style frameworks. If you have some experience it will really transform the way you look at both django and python. I can't recommend it enough.

Simply start by writing tests for each HTTP endpoint and check the content of the response.

Maybe check out Michael Feathers' Working Effectively with Legacy Code too.

A properly implemented deployment cycle should be a press-button operation. Every environment, including production, should be able to be updated (and rolled back if necessary) unattended and automatically.

I highly recommend this book to anyone presently babysitting deployments.

Couldn't agree more. And on that note I'd highly recommend this excellent book https://www.amazon.com/Soft-Skills-software-developers-manual/dp/1617292397/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478458351&sr=8-1&keywords=Soft+Skills%3A+The+software+developer%27s+life+manual

There's this book which figuratively speaking tears Django apart called Lightweight Django might help integrating a Mongo ORM to Django.

Comprehensive and technical? Haven't read it yet but http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1784391913

Have you seen this book? (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430258543/) I read the 3 or 4 first chapters of it, and I remember that it has these topics (http server / client, cache and other related stuff), maybe I should go for it and learn a little more from python (I think in the fluent python book) .

Have a look at:
