Deployment
So you've setup python and django locally, gone through a tutorial and created a django application. Next you will deploy your site to a public server so you can show your mom :) No matter what OS you're running, the strategy around deploying your site includes three basic steps:
The first thing you will want to do is replicate your server environment locally. You'll do this by setting up a virtual environment using e.g. VMWare or VirtualBox.
Links to testing methodologies should go here.
Once you are satisfied with your app you will want to deploy to your server. Use fabric to automate the deployment from your staging to production server.
