Re: Django Development Model

Hey,

I'm not sure there is a specific Project Management (which to me implies Software Engineering) style that people use with Django. In my experience, using agile methodologies work great; You can quickly prototype your idea and enhance your product as needed.

The tutorial, as others have mentioned, is a great starting point to learn about the Django Framework. For the purpose of a university course, I would keep the technologies as simple as possible: Use SQLite for the database (this comes with Django), use Django's built-in 'runserver' for development purposes until you need to push the web application to a production (read: live) environment. I would focus on things such as building Models, using Forms and Views to get and display any related data, and maybe some semi-complex Templates related functionality such as Template Inheritance.

Depending on the depth of the course, it would be very great knowledge for the students to know how to use a traditional DBMS with Django. It would also be very beneficiary for the students to learn how to configure an HTTP Server to communicate with a Django Application. However, these are only details related to the deployment of Django and can easily set the students on a wide tangent from the objective of teaching students how to manage and implement a web application project using the Django framework.

Hopefully that helps answer your question a bit. Good luck!

Hi Everyone,
I am a MSIS student at Santa Clara University, CA. My team has chosen Django to work on for our Software Project Management course.
I was wondering if there is some place where I can find documentation related to Django's Software Development process/model.
Or if any of the community members can give some insight on the topic.
Thanks in advance.
