What's next?


Having read this chapter, you have enough knowledge of Django models to be able to write basic database applications. Chapter 9, Advanced Models, will provide some information on more advanced usage of Django's database layer. Once you've defined your models, the next step is to populate your database with data. You might have legacy data, in which case Chapter 21, Advanced Database Management, will give you advice about integrating with legacy databases. You might rely on site users to supply your data, in which case Chapter 6, Forms, will teach you how to process user-submitted form data. But in some cases, you or your team might need to enter data manually, in which case it would be helpful to have a web-based interface for entering and managing data. The next chapter covers Django's admin interface, which exists precisely for that reason.
