Easily build maintainable websites with powerful and relevant Django design patterns

About This Book

  • Unravel the common problems of web development in Django
  • Learn the current best practices while working in Django 1.7 and Python 3.4
  • Experience the challenges of working on an end-to-end social network project

Who This Book Is For

If you want to learn how best to utilize commonly found patterns and learn best practices in developing applications with Django, this is the book for you. This book, like Django itself, is accessible to amateur and professional developers alike and assumes little in the way of prior experience.

Although written for Python 3, the majority of the code in this book works in Python 2 or can be easily translated.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand common design patterns that can help you write better Django code
  • Discover the latest best practices and idioms in this rapidly evolving framework
  • Deep dive into various aspects of Django from Models and Views to testing and deployment
  • Get to grips with difficult topics such as dealing with legacy code and debugging
  • Familiarize yourself with the various nuances of web development such as browser attacks and databases
  • Reduce the maintenance burden with well-tested, cleaner code
  • Show your work to the world by learning about hosting, deploying, and securing your Django projects

In Detail

Learning how to write better Django code to build more maintainable websites either takes a lot of experience or familiarity with various design patterns. Filled with several idiomatic Django patterns, Django Design Patterns and Best Practices accelerates your journey into the world of web development.

Discover a set of common design problems, each tackling aspects of Django including model design and Views, and learn several recommended solutions with useful code examples and illustrations. You'll also get to grips with the current best practices in the latest versions of Django and Python. Creating a successful web application involves much more than Django, so advanced topics including REST, testing, debugging, security, and deployment are also explored in detail.

This book is great for beginners and seasoned developers of the Django framework. It is relatively easy to follow and the examples' content and rationale are well explained. I haven't gotten through the whole book, but so far it is dense with great information and advice.

The book is good but it does not cover what it title says, it is not about design patterns. Although I must say for a beginner django developer could be really useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Going to the next level with Django
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2015
Arun has made an excellent contribution to the myriad "learn Django" environment. I highly recommend this book to people who have completed the infamous polls tutorial as it represents a great survey of topics that the beginner would greatly benefit from using in practice.

The treatments on models and class based views are particularly noteworthy. It would have been nice seeing some more content on custom template tags but alas that's almost a book in and of itself. Forms are properly treated as the data validating powerhouses they are. The comprehensive overview of testing is really fantastic along with recommendations on debugging tools that are standard amongst Django developers.

If you are looking to go from beginner to affective in Django - this is a great way to do that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read for Django developers!
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015
You need to be familiar with Python & know basics of building an app with Django before starting this book!

I have read articles written by Arun Ravindran and watched his screencasts & talks. So I brought the book as soon as it released.

The book has various design patterns to solve everyday problems while building web apps. It also engages readers with stories & examples to get a better understanding of concepts.

If You have started Django, this book will save a lot of time. If You are an experienced developer, You will find some patterns & best practices to clean up Your code.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to more advanced Django issues
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2015

Getting started with Django is easy but scaling up and maintaining a project requires a lot more knowledge than is available in introductory texts and tutorials. This book addresses many of the important issues that are encountered on these larger and more long term projects and describes the best practices for dealing with them.
In some ways, this book has similarities to "Two Scoops of Django". They both offer expert advise for anyone who is beyond the beginner stage. (However, the two books are not identical and I recommend both as they provide complementary treatments).
I would recommend this to anyone who is in deep in a Django project, especially one with a long time-line. For those who are beginning, I would still recommend it too as you will need it soon after you master the basics.
