Wagtail Introduction

As I add posts about this site, I'll presume you're already familiar with the basics of Python, Django and Wagtail.

In case you're starting out, I would learn those in that order.

Python

It's hard to beat Real Python for everything from beginner to advanced topics ranging from coding fundamentals to web development, machine learning and more.

Django

As for Python, there is a ton of resources out there for learning all there is about this Python-based web platform.

The Django Book is the full documentation from the Django Project itself and kept up-to-date. There's not much about Django you can't learn from here.

Mozilla's Developer's site also has a very comprehensive site, including free coursework for beginners:

For more bite-sized lessons, try Django Girls and How To Tango With Django - the latter is good but a little dated now.

Wagtail

There are much fewer resources for Wagtail, but don't let that put you off. The benefits of using Wagtail far outweigh the lack of material out there. Once you see Wagtail's streamfields in action, you'll never look at Django again (almost).

Maybe start out with an introduction at Wagtail's own site and Made with Wagtail for some demonstration sites. A list of Wagtail tutorials can be found in the Wagtail documentation. You can also work through the First Wagtail Site tutorial there.

Learn Wagtail has an excellent set of free and paid-for (for a very low fee) instructional videos that'll take you from beginnings to early-advanced topics. I would say start here. The newly released Ultimate course is the definitive guide, written for Wagtail v6.

If you're interested in getting Wagtail up and running with Docker, this is an excellent resource:

Finally, you'll find a very active community of Wagtail developers over on Slack, Github and StackOverflow.
