Any Django users here?

Just wondered if any of you guys or gals use Django? Edited July 25, 2015 by elsiegee40

No. Django though, yes.

@powdarrmonkey woops.

 

I just started looking at it after a few reconsiderations on another forum. I purchased the one month python and django course. Where he guides you through building a Yelp like app for local coffee shops. He is teaching how to build the app rather then what each bit of code does.

So there is a bit of stuff that works but I don't know why I have found that there's something called coding for coding for entrepreneurs that explains things better.

I may have got my thinking wrong here. So normally when I do a website I go to Vidahost by domain name and hosting stick the html / wordpress/ php what ever up there and away we go.

 

However they are saying use heroku for the application and files and then use amazon s3(?) for hosting the images ???

 

I have pushed my first tutorial project to heroku. Done heroku open and up pops the website - with a long url.

Is there a better way of getting the projects live? and if not can I buy a domain name (myapp.co.uk) and then get heroku to use that?

 

Im loving the ease that CRUD works

[powdarrmonkey]

Hmm. Slotting blocks together without understanding what they do or how they work has never seemed a good way to learn to be. You really don't need S3 or Heroku for this.

 

The Django project's own documentation and tutorials really are excellent though: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/

@powdarrmonkey Do you have any experiance of django-sitegate ?

Just a bit stuck, either the instructions are wrong ( highly unlikely) or im doing it wrong (more then likely)

[powdarrmonkey]

Not directly, but you haven't said what you've done and what doesn't work...
