Tangentially, I can't imagine using Django without DRF. It makes setting up RESTful(ish) APIs so easy. Even if you don't care much about the RESTful aspects, it provides a much nicer way to organize your code than default Django IMO. I especially like how serialization works versus Django forms.
Anyone have any worthwhile Django learning resources to share? (Other than Django's own docs, which are great.)
1. Versions -- a lot of printed materials are just old by the time they come out.
2. None of them talk about large-scale projects, only smaller-scale personal blogs etc. as a first project. Or, put another way, many of the resources I find target beginners instead of intermediate/advanced learners.
I've found books by Packt Pub to be of variable quality, and DbE does have some typoes/errors, but the content so far has been quite good.

And at the end of the article:

I sort of know the answers but remain unsatisfied.
And then the author sets up a needlessly overcomplicated data model situation.
