Django Design Patterns and Best Practices
Learning how to write better Django code to build more maintainable websites either takes a lot of experience or familiarity with various design patterns. Filled with several idiomatic Django patterns, Django Design Patterns and Best Practices accelerates your journey into the world of web development.
Discover a set of common design problems, each tackling aspects of Django including model design and Views, and learn several recommended solutions with useful code examples and illustrations. You'll also get to grips with the current best practices in the latest versions of Django and Python. Creating a successful web application involves much more than Django, so advanced topics including REST, testing, debugging, security, and deployment are also explored in detail.

Although I'm not a fan of design patterns (you know, the GoF one) because people tend replace it to proper thinking. But I do like design patterns for languages and frameworks, because you can use something for a very long time and still not doing it in the right way.
The book has an interesting premise: Explain a bit something, point a problem, a solution, expand the problem and expand the solution. The problem is that some problems seem really shoe horned to certain solutions. Also, some common problems are not talked at all, like using CSRF with Ajax -- something the author mentions people shouldn't do (disable CSRF) on Ajax requests.
On the other hand, the book focus on the the most recent versions (well, almost). Instead of going in the safe road of Python 2, the book focus on Python 3 -- and, to be honest, there isn't much difference between Django with Python 3 and Django with Python 2.
Is not a bad book, but the really interesting things seem to be left out.

I am relatively new to Django, When the author said we'd be making "SuperBook" I was excited to build the back end of my own social network website with some assistance. I was disappointed to see that it wasn't a full blown tutorial+demonstration of best practices that are used while building the back end. Nevertheless, it's a great book to revisit some resources out there and on how to maintain your project for the 1.7 version.

Some really good advice for beginners,
(Although, if you have read "Two Scoops of Django", a lot of what you read in this book won't be new,
but still a recommended read, (especially for it's "Active link pattern" )

I found the book useful in terms of issues for using and understanding Django better.
