Django for Professionals takes your web development skills to the next level, teaching you how to build production-ready websites with Python and Django.
Once you have learned the basics of Django there is a massive gap between building simple "toy apps" and what it takes to build a "production-ready" web application suitable for deployment to thousands or even millions of users.
In the book you’ll learn how to:
* Build a Bookstore website from scratch
* Use Docker and PostgreSQL locally to mimic production settings
* Implement advanced user registration with email
* Customize permissions to control user access
* Write comprehensive tests
* Adopt advanced security and performance improvements
* Add search and file/image uploads
* Deploy with confidence
If you want to take advantage of all that Django has to offer, Django for Professionals is a comprehensive best practices guide to building and deploying modern websites.
