Enhancing Your Blog with Advanced Features
Take your blog to the next level with advanced features such as pagination, class-based views, email integration, and form handling. Improve user engagement by implementing a comment system. -
Extending Your Blog
Expand your application by integrating third-party apps for tagging, constructing complex QuerySets to suggest related posts, and creating custom template tags and filters. Complete your blog with a sitemap, RSS feed, and robust full-text search powered by PostgreSQL.
-
Building a Social Website
Develop a dynamic social platform with secure user authentication and registration. Customize the default user model to incorporate tailored profiles for a personalized experience. -
Implementing Social Authentication
Seamlessly integrate Google OAuth 2 for social login capabilities. Build a custom authentication backend, automate profile creation, and leverage django-extensions to enforce HTTPS during development. Enhance user interaction with Django's messages framework. -
Sharing Content on Your Website
Convert your social site into an image bookmarking hub. Manage many-to-many relationships, create a dynamic JavaScript bookmarklet, generate image thumbnails, and implement infinite scroll pagination with AJAX for a fluid browsing experience. -
Tracking User Actions
Develop a follower system and an activity stream to monitor user interactions. Utilize Django signals, generic relations, and denormalization techniques while integrating Redis to track image views and rank popular content.

Adding Internationalization
Localize your platform by translating strings, model fields, and URLs. Employ Rosetta for translation management, configure per-language URLs, and use django-parler for handling localized model fields.
-
Building an E-Learning Platform
Construct a content management system (CMS) designed for online courses. Leverage model inheritance to manage polymorphic content, develop custom model fields, and implement secure authentication views. -
Creating a Content Management System
Utilize class-based views, mixins, and Django’s robust groups and permissions system to manage course content securely. Simplify content editing with formsets and enable drag-and-drop reordering using JavaScript. -
Rendering and Caching Content
Build public views for a comprehensive course catalog, manage student enrollments, and render diverse content types. Optimize performance by caching data using Django’s cache framework and configuring Memcached or Redis.
-
Building an API
Design a RESTful API using the Django REST framework. Create serializers, custom views, and implement robust authentication and permission protocols to facilitate seamless API consumption. -
Building a Chat Server
Enable real-time communication using Django Channels and WebSockets. Develop a fully asynchronous consumer with Redis as the channel layer and persist chat messages to maintain a comprehensive history. -
Going Live
Prepare your applications for production by configuring multiple environments. Utilize Docker Compose alongside PostgreSQL, Redis, uWSGI, NGINX, and Daphne to secure and optimize your deployment. Enhance security with HTTPS and extend functionality with custom middleware and management commands.
