Becoming an Enterprise Django Developer

By: Michael Dinder

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.
