Preparing for this chapter

Start by creating a new app in your project called chapter_4 by following the steps discussed in Chapter 2, Project Configuration, in the subsection titled Creating a Django app. As discussed in that section, don't forget to change the value of your name = variable for your app class found in the /becoming_a_django_entdev/becoming_a_django_entdev/chapter_4/apps.py file to now point to the path where you installed your app. Be sure to also include this app in your INSTALLED_APPS variable found in the settings.py file as well.
