Lightweight Django

Why This Book? We wanted to write this book primarily because we love Django. The community is amazing, and there are so many resources to learn about Django and to develop appli? cations using it. However, we also felt like many of these resources, including the official Django documentation, put too much emphasis on the power of Django and not on its decoupled design. Django is a well-written framework, with numerous utilities for building web applications included. What we want this book to highlight is how you can break apart and potentially replace these components to pick and choose what best suits the application you want to build. Similarly, we wanted to break down the typical structure of Django projects and applications. Our goal is to get you to stop asking “how do I do X in Django?” and instead ask “does Django provide anything to help me do X, and if not, is something available in the community?”
