This is the Table of Contents for the free online version of Mastering Django: Core (The Django Book).
As Django 1.11 LTS is out, this content is in active development and is being incrementally updated from 1.8 to 1.11.
Note that, if you are just starting out, the fundamentals have not really changed between 1.8 and 1.11, so you should be able to get through the first few chapters with minimal problems.
Just install Django 1.11 and most of the early code samples will run.
Any chapters that have been updated will be marked [UPDATED] in the Table of Contents. The online book should be considered a working draft, which means there are likely errors and bits of code that don’t run. Send me an email if you find something that is broken.
