Django-related Deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2022
Here are some Django-related deals for this year’s Black Friday (25th Nov) and Cyber Monday (28th Nov), including my own. For more deals on general Python-related products, see Trey Hunner’s post.
My books
My two books, Boost Your Django DX and Speed Up Your Django Tests, have 50% off their base prices.
The deal stacks with the regional discount that offers a 50% discount for those living outside the GDP top 50. If you live in such a country, email me to get a total of 75% off the base prices.
This discount is available until the end of Cyber Monday, “Anywhere on Earth” (AoE). That is, it’s live as long as it’s still Cyber Monday or before, in one time zone, anywhere on earth.

Aidas Bendoraitis’ GDPR Cookie Consent Package
Aidas Bendoraitis of djangotricks.com created this paid third-party app for Django last year. The package takes the pain out of setting up and customizing legally-mandated GDPR Cookie Consent screens. Compared to commercial “one size fits all” solutions, it’s much simpler to use this third party app to host and tweak your own cookie consent screen.
Use the discount code BLACKFRIDAY22
for 20% off, from €150 to €120, until the end of November.
Forge Pro
David Gaeddert’s Forge is “an opinionated way to build with Django”. Forge Pro is the paid product that contains six third party apps for your production projects. For example, “Query Stats” can show you SQL query statistics in production on any URL, whilst the “Stripe” app provides helpers for billing customers with Stripe. You also gain access to a community of Django developers where you can discuss Forge Pro and its future development.
Use the discount code BLACKFRIDAY22
for 50% off your first year of subscription, taking the personal license from $149/year to $74.50/year. This deal is available through 30 November. 10% of Forge’s cost goes to support the Django Software Foundation (more on that below).
Michael Yin’s Books
Michael Yin, creator of one of the testdriven.io course above, has also written several books on Django related topics. He’s offering a 30% discount on two of them, one about building a blog with wagtail, and one about using Hotwire (HTML-over-the-wire) and Turbo with Django.
Buy them on Leanpub with the discount links below:
SaaS Pegasus

Bonus: Django Itself
Okay, there’s no discount here, but there is a good deal! You can fund the framework that you love to ensure it continues into the future.
If you are able to spend some money on Django-related products this Black Friday, please do consider sponsoring Django itself. You can support it by donating to the charity that runs the framework, the Django Software Foundation.
Your money will go towards:
- Paying the Django Fellows, Carlton and Mariusz, who merge respond to tickets, merge code, and make releases.
- Helping organize Djangocons in Africa, America, and Europe, and other events.
- Hosting costs of the documentation, source code, ticketing system, and CI system.
- A long tail of activities for keeping the framework alive and thriving.
You can sponsor Django on:
- GitHub Sponsors - adds to your GitHub bill.
- Threadless - grab some custom-printed merchandise.
- The Fundraising Page - bills from a credit card with Stripe. This page also links to other schemes: Amazon Smile and Benevity Workplace Giving.
If you’re working with Django professionally, please consider sponsoring a few dollars a month. But better yet, get your organization to sponsor to pay back for all the advantages that Django offers you.
At time of writing, Django is 79% towards its 2022 funding goal:
Let’s try get it to 100%!
Fin
Go forth and support Django creators, and Django itself!

P.S. If you are also a creator, email me with details of your offer and I’ll add it here.
One summary email a week, no spam, I pinky promise.
