Practicing Django and TDD

I'm learning to use the Django framework.

Since my experience so far has been mostly with physical simulations and desktop applications, learning Django is quite a challenge to me. Let's say it's out of my confort zone... Besides, I'd like not only to learn Django but also to use good development practices while I'm at it.

At the moment, I'm following Harry Percival's Test-Driven Django Tutorial.
I'm also refactoring the code to get rid of fixtures using the FactoryBoy app.

You can find what I've done so far in this repository: PracticingDjangoTDD
I've tried to commit in small steps and added links to some materials and blog posts that helped me to understand both what Harry Percival did and to refactor the code.

Feedback and orientation to improve is more than welcome.
Finally, I'd like to thank Harry for sharing this great tutorial.

Interesting Talk: "Django's architecture - the good, the bad, and the ugly"

I've just watched this interesting talk about Django's architecture by Andrew Godwin:

• Django's architecture - the good, the bad, and the ugly

Andrew Godwin is a Django core developer and the creator of the great South, "a Django application to provide schema and data migrations".
In this talk, he gives a good overview of Django's architecture and his opinion about which are the good, bad and ugly parts of Django.

Interesting Talk: "Django: Web Development for Perfectionists with Deadlines"

I've just watched this interesting talk about Django by Jacob Kaplan-Moss:

• Django: Web Development for Perfectionists with Deadlines

No doubt, this talk is out of date now. Django has evolved a lot since 2006, but I think it's good to understand the needs that originated the development of Django in the first place.
