Django Notes

At present, prefer Rails over Django, but just in case.

Django Workflow

1. Create project using django-admin startproject project
2. Edit settings.py - database parameters, installed apps + anything else (e.g. timezone)
3. Create database tables - manage.py syncdb
4. Create models - manage.py startapp appname
5. Add models for app to appname/models.py
6. Activate models - manage.py sql(all); syncdb
7. Desing URLs (views) + templates - generic views are good (CRUD)
8. Optional - customise admin interface
