Overview of this book

Learning Python has a dynamic and varied nature. It reads easily and lays a good foundation for those who are interested in digging deeper. It has a practical and example-oriented approach through which both the introductory and the advanced topics are explained. Starting with the fundamentals of programming and Python, it ends by exploring very different topics, like GUIs, web apps and data science. The book takes you all the way to creating a fully fledged application. The book begins by exploring the essentials of programming, data structures and teaches you how to manipulate them. It then moves on to controlling the flow of a program and writing reusable and error proof code. You will then explore different programming paradigms that will allow you to find the best approach to any situation, and also learn how to perform performance optimization as well as effective debugging. Throughout, the book steers you through the various types of applications, and it concludes with a complete mini website built upon all the concepts that you learned.

Where do you go from here?


If you liked this project and you feel like expanding it, here are a few suggestions:

  • Implement the encryption in the mechanism of a custom Django field.

  • Amend the template for the record list so that you can search for a particular record.

  • Amend the JavaScript to use JSONP with a callback to overcome the CORS issue.

  • Amend the JavaScript to fire the validation call when the password field changes.

  • Write a Django command that allows you to encrypt and decrypt the database file. When you do it from the command line, incorporate that behavior into the website, possibly on the home page, so that you don't have access to the records unless you are authenticated. This is definitely a hard challenge as it requires either another database with an authentication password stored properly with a one way hash, or some serious reworking of the data structure used to hold the record model data. Even if you don't have the means to do it now, try and think about how you would solve...
