Django - Full Stack Python Django is a widely-used Python web application framework with a "batteries-included" philosophy. The principle behind batteries-included is that the common functionality for building web applications should come with the framework instead of as separate libraries. For example, authentication, URL routing, a templating system, an object-relational mapper (ORM), and database schema migrations (as of version 1.7) are all included with the Django framework. Compare that included functionality to the Flask framework which requires a separate library such as Flask-Login to perform user authentication. The batteries-included and extensibility philosophies are simply two different ways to tackle framework building. Neither philosophy is inherently better than the other one. Why is Django a good web framework choice? The Django project's stability, performance and community have grown tremendously over the past decade since the framework's creation.

Simplifying Django The following comes to you from Julia Elman and Mark Lavin. Julia is a a hybrid designer/developer who has been working her brand of web skills since 2002; and Mark is the Development Director at Caktus Consulting Group in Carrboro, NC where he builds scalable web applications with Django. Together, they are working on Lightweight Django, a book due out later this year that explores bringing Django into modern web practices. Despite Django’s popularity and maturity, some developers believe that it is an outdated web framework made primarily for “content-heavy” applications. Since the majority of modern web applications and services tend not to be rich in their content, this reputation leaves Django seeming like a less than optimal choice as a web framework. Let’s take a moment to look at Django from the ground up and get a better idea of where the framework stands in today’s web development practices.

Twilio Cloud Communications - APIs for Voice, VoIP, and Text Messaging How It Works Ready to implement appointment reminders in your application? Here's how it works at a high level: An administrator (our user) creates an appointment for a future date and time, and stores a customer's phone number in the database for that appointmentWhen that appointment is saved a background task is scheduled to send a reminder to that customer before their appointment startsAt a configured time in advance of the appointment, the background task sends an SMS reminder to the customer to remind them of their appointment Building Blocks Here are the technologies we'll use: Django to create a database-driven web applicationThe Messages Resource from Twilio's REST API to send text messagesCelery to help us schedule and execute background tasks on a recurring basis How To Read This Tutorial To implement appointment reminders, we will be working through a series of user stories that describe how to fully implement appointment reminders in a web application.

Model field reference Field options¶ The following arguments are available to all field types. All are optional. null¶ Field.null¶ If True, Django will store empty values as NULL in the database. Avoid using null on string-based fields such as CharField and TextField because empty string values will always be stored as empty strings, not as NULL. For both string-based and non-string-based fields, you will also need to set blank=True if you wish to permit empty values in forms, as the null parameter only affects database storage (see blank). Note When using the Oracle database backend, the value NULL will be stored to denote the empty string regardless of this attribute. If you want to accept null values with BooleanField, use NullBooleanField instead. blank¶ Field.blank¶ If True, the field is allowed to be blank. Note that this is different than null. null is purely database-related, whereas blank is validation-related. choices¶ Field.choices¶ The first element in each tuple is the name to apply to the group. db_index¶
Introduction · Django Girls Tutorial The Django template language This document explains the language syntax of the Django template system. If you’re looking for a more technical perspective on how it works and how to extend it, see The Django template language: for Python programmers. Django’s template language is designed to strike a balance between power and ease. It’s designed to feel comfortable to those used to working with HTML. Philosophy If you have a background in programming, or if you’re used to languages which mix programming code directly into HTML, you’ll want to bear in mind that the Django template system is not simply Python embedded into HTML. The Django template system provides tags which function similarly to some programming constructs – an if tag for boolean tests, a for tag for looping, etc. – but these are not simply executed as the corresponding Python code, and the template system will not execute arbitrary Python expressions. Templates¶ A template is simply a text file. Variables¶ Variables look like this: {{ variable }}. <! <!
