About this ebook

Completely updated for Django 4.0!

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.

Even though this book is supposedly for "professionals" some of the concepts are better explained that in his previous book "Django for Beginners". It is a great book that profoundly explains complex concepts in a relatively simple language. Easy to read and a lot of pictures and logs so you can compare your results. However, if you are going to read this book, keep in mind that stripe and Heroku sections are just slightly outdated and you might have to google some information on your own. Overall it is a great book to read right after you finish his previous book.
