Redesigning the OCLUG web site with Django
Speaker: Ian Ward
This talk will cover the steps that were taken to build a new version of the OCLUG web site using the Django web development framework. Django has excellent documentation and a very good tutorial online. This talk does not follow the tutorial but instead tries to show how Django's features fit the needs of OCLUG's web site. Features discussed include:
- Sites and applications
- Request handling and middleware
- Data models
- Database object-relational mapper
- Admin interface
- Templates
- Authentication (users and groups)
- Flatpages and redirects
- Syndication (RSS feeds)
