Now that the software we need is in place, the time has come for the fun part - creating our first Django project!
As you may recall from the Django installation section, we used a command called django-admin.py
to test our installation. This utility is at the heart of Django's project management facilities, as it enables the user to do a range of project management tasks, including the following:
Creating a new project.
Creating and managing the project's database.
Validating the current project and testing for errors.
Starting the development web server.
We will see how to use some of these tasks in the rest of this chapter, creating a basis for our bookmark-sharing application in the process.
