This chapter has outlined several basic tenets of software development using Django. Planning is one of the most important steps for any project, and understanding Django's particular way of approaching web development helps in the planning phase. The Django way includes:
- Building apps that serve a single function and can be reused easily
- Keeping the design of models relatively focused
- Leveraging the power of Python when possible
- Organizing our projects, including settings and URL files
We also explored the reasons why Django makes a powerful platform for e-commerce applications and explained some of the basic needs these applications tend to have in common. In Chapter 2 we will jump right in to starting our project by building a very basic web-based store in 30 minutes.
