Principles, Practices, and Pitfalls

If you're a web programmer new to Drupal, this book shows you which programming techniques you can use - and which you should avoid - when building custom web applications with this content management framework. Drupal has its own set of programming principles that require a different approach, and many programmers make mistakes when relying on skills they've used for other projects. The guidelines in this book help you through the transition by demonstrating which programming practices conform to the "Drupal way," and which don't.

Today alone, Dell Computer will sell more than $18 million worth of computer equipment through the Internet. In 1999, nine million Americans traded stocks online, accounting for one-third of all retail stock trades. And more than 200,000 Web sites worldwide (including sites belonging to 98 of the Fortune 100 ) can accept e-commerce transactions. Commercial use of the Web continues to grow at an astonishing pace, and securing Web transactions has become increasingly critical to businesses, organizations, and individual users. Fortunately, an extremely effective and widely deployed communica- tions protocol provides exactly that security. It is the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, more commonly known simply as ssl. The ssl protocol along with its successor, the Transport Layer Security (tls) protocol is the subject of this book.

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?”

Django programming

For some years, web development has evolved through frameworks. Web development has become more efficient and has improved in quality. Django is a very sophisticated and popular framework. A framework is a set of tools designed to facilitate and standardize development. It allows the developer to benefit from very practical tools to minimize the development time. However, developing with frameworks requires knowledge about the framework and its proper usage. This book uses a step-by-step pedagogy to help novice developers learn how to easily deal with the Django framework. The examples in this book explain the development of a simple web tool: a text-based task manager.

Django Web Development

Django, written in Python, is a web application framework designed to build complex web applications quickly without any hassle. It loosely follows the MVC pattern and adheres to the Don't Repeat ourself principle, which makes a database- driven application efficient and highly scalable, and is by far the most popular and mature Python web framework. This book is a manual that will help you build a simple yet an effective Django web application. It starts by introducing Django to you and teaches you how to set it up and code simple programs. You will then learn to build your first Twitter-like application. Later on, you will be introduced to hashtags, Ajax (to enhance the user interface), and tweets. You will then move on to create an administration interface, learn database connectivity, and use third-party libraries. Then, you will learn to debug and deploy Django projects and will also get a glimpse of Django with AngularJS and Elasticsearch. By the end of this book, you will be able to leverage the Django framework to develop a fully functional web application with minimal effort.
