I worked through this book when I was first starting out with Django earlier this year, and I did not walk away from the book feeling like I had a good understanding of Django. The writing style was a lot of 'copy this code that makes up 1/3 of the example.... now copy this code that makes up another 1/3 of the example...' etc. It was a lot of copying with little explanation of the what the code actually did. I found myself polling up YouTube to understand basic concepts about the code structure and what the code did. I found Test Driven Development with Python to be a better resource for learning, although it's running an older version of Django. Most of it's the same, but if you follow the book I would recommend using the latest version of Django and checking the comments on each chapter. Other people post fixed code for Django 3 and 4. If you have some experience with Python then you can probably resolve most of the issues that crop up. Django 4 By Example might be okay if you are already familiar with Django. It does provide code for some more advanced topics, e.g., class based views, generic relations between models, and internationalization. But you probably won't walk away feeling like you learned a lot so much as just feeling like you copied and pasted the code in. You can find the git repository for Django 4 by Example if you just want to check out the code and run the examples. You might be better served just going through the examples without actually reading the book. More on reddit.com

it is a good one. I can recommend it. Previous editions were also highly review​ed. More on reddit.com

I love the book Django 4 by Example by the author. And I recommend it. I'm just wondering if the author will still use Django Rest Framework (DRF) or sometime switch to Django Ninja as nowadays many advise to use it. More on reddit.com
