Overview of this book

Django is a powerful framework but choosing the right add-ons that match the scale and scope of your enterprise projects can be tricky. This book will help you explore the multifarious options available for enterprise Django development. Countless organizations are already using Django and more migrating to it, unleashing the power of Python with many different packages and dependencies, including AI technologies. This practical guide will help you understand practices, blueprints, and design decisions to put Django to work the way you want it to. You’ll learn various ways in which data can be rendered onto a page and discover the power of Django for large-scale production applications. Starting with the basics of getting an enterprise project up and running, you'll get to grips with maintaining the project throughout its lifecycle while learning what the Django application lifecycle is. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build and deploy a Django project to the web and implement various components into the site.

Summary

We activated and customized the Django admin site for a project, otherwise known as the admin panel. This powerful tool helps us to get up and running with search, filter, sort, create, edit, and delete capabilities for all of the models that we choose to register on this site. With the concepts provided in this chapter, you should be able to make your admin panel a very useful tool that your users will enjoy.

With the authentication system that Django provides, many different types of users can all access and use the same site but have very different roles and uses. Each type of user could even be given entirely different templates and flows if we venture down the road of extending templates or building onto that templating system using the concepts provided in previous chapters.

In the next chapter, we will discuss sending emails, creating custom email templates, as well as creating PDF reports using the Django template language.
