Re: How to structure this django application

Hey Rich, 

Do take the time to peruse the book. It would be time well spent. Also, do keep in mind that the recommendations therein do not apply to a Django blog or CRM sustem etc, per se. They would apply just as well if you were building a RESTful mobile app backend.

The problem you describe of managing users etc is just a requirements specification. The advice in the book is general enough across implementations of solutions in broad problem domains. It's not a recipe book, but more a collection of chefs' knives. 

Best regards,

My best recommendation for structuring Django projects (and for

Django by Daniel and Audrey Roy Greenfeld. I could say a lot but the bottom
line is, check the book out. It's at https://www.twoscoopspress.com/

Sithembewena,

  I have that book (the 1.8 version); pulled it off the shelf earlier today
to read again.

There are various factors to consider and this book (to me, at least) best
encapsulates all those. I believe that it also applies for newer versions
of Django than v1.8.

  What I need to build is different from a blog, newspaper, e-commerce, and
similar sites ... I think. In those, every visitor/user sees the same views
and has the same options.

  My proposed application needs to be slightly different for each category
of user and keep each in his/her own private section. How to do this may be
in 2 scoops, or may not. If I don't see how to do this I'll be back with
more questions.

Thanks,

Rich
