1. Start Here¶

This book is meant to help you leverage Celery in your Django projects. The companion course that covers this material is available on https://cfe.sh/projects/time-tasks-2.

The course and this book assume that you have some software development skill already and, most ideally, experience with Django (the popular python web framework).

The Time & Tasks 2 course and book are still under development. Please continue to check back for updates.

1.1. Skill Requirements¶

To get the most out of this book, you should know the following Django & Python concepts:

Models
Model Managers & QuerySets
Signals (post_save, pre_save, etc)
Views
Decorators
Request / Response cycle (at least conceptually)

The version of Django matters very little for the above concepts since these concepts will be with Django for a long time to come (at least until 2025 as of 2020).
