In this guide to building real-world web applications with Python, William Vincent,a former Django Software Foundation Board member, takes a practical approach, introducing concepts through six projects designed to simulate real-world scenarios. From a Hello World website to a message board application, a blogging platform, and a newspaper CRM, readers learn about Django's architecture and how to add new functionality step-by-step.

Coverage includes best practices, enhanced testing, and a detailed deployment guide to ensure you're ready for real-world web development challenges. This fifth edition is completely revised to reflect the latest Django release and current best practices. New and updated coverage includes function and class-based views, a Company Website project to cover templates and template contexts in depth, an updated deployment guide, and the latest versions of all third-party Django packages.
