(Context: I've just completed the Wagtail for Beginners course and have an opportunity to leave a review. However my review's 1600 characters-or-so and the review box is limited to 1000 characters. So I'm posting it here.)
TL;DR: good course but where's search? ★★★★☆
Overall this is a pretty nice and fairly deep introduction to Wagtail. I'm using this course while simultaneously setting up a major Wagtail site (with an estimated 10,000 objects), so I'm not just learning the basics but also getting a thorough immersion. What's good about this approach is that topics Taulien introduces here are directly applicable to my project, such as using wagtail.contrib.settings
classes for my custom control panels, or dividing Django configuration between dev
and production
, or how drop-dead easy it is to add a sitemap.xml
endpoint, and so forth. I've had trouble understanding StreamFields ("Why not just use RichTextField for everything?") but Taulien helps
