Lightweight Django

My personal trainig about Django (and a bit of Tornado, too)

I'm reading and learning a lot about Django in this publishing. Interesting thoughts about using Django as a piece of a web-app (and not a full MVC Framework). Good ideas also about cross-purposes using Django, Tornado and Backbone.js - from chapter 4 to the end.
