Tutorial Wagtail Version: 2.x
Django comes with a python shell where you can import your models and test things out. It's not great out of the box, but we can make it better by using shell_plus (installation instructions are inside) and letting IPython take care of interactivity. This is all helpful for learning Wagtail.
Using Django's shell and it's interactive siblings (ipython and shell_plus) have allowed me to learn Wagtail at a faster rate than reading the docs and the source code. It also let me explore methods and properties that aren't documented or talked about too often.
There are a lot of options, so unfortunately I can't make a tutorial on every single Wagtail Page option, but I encourage you to take a look.
In this video I'll show you how to find them all, too.
