Purchased! This looks awesome, I literally just set up django yesterday and had a huge amount of unanswered questions while setting it up. Like you have mentioned, I had a real hard time finding the 'best' practices to set up the environment. Anxious to get home and start reading.

#15So, full disclaimer: I was one of the editors of this book. This is a really great 'best practices' book for Django developers of all skill levels.

#18One of my big concerns is user / session security.
I have tried to follow and reason through discussions on stackoverflow and much of tpatchek's notes. I would be interested in how "high level" the security chapter is from anyone who has shelled out already.
For example I assume I will

3. That seems to be it really
I just do not know where to go to have this discussion sensibly - any hints?
