Lately I have been thinking a lot about how well Django adapts to new users. I noticed that there seems to be an influx of first-timers. Although these programmers come from a variety of backgrounds, there are some areas within the framework that consistently cause stumbling blocks. In a lot of ways it is part of the reason that I’ve devoted a segment of This Week in Django to the subject. So what can be done to make Django more new user-friendly?
