"Django road map and resources"

[yaqiinso]

Hello dear django developers i was learning django since december i understood all the basics like how create apps,models,views,url,some authentication like adding user,login and logout but still i can not make the projects of my dreams like building school management system software , E_commerce web, and so ,  where to go can  any one please give road map that takes me to my dream ..

Hi yaq. I took a bootcamp course and, like you, knew all the basics. However, applying what you know is a totally different ballpark.

Try creating an introductory project, something simpler but still that you really want to do. For example, a simple e commerce web app would probably be a good first project. It has to be something you want to do so that you pursue it throughout all the bugs that will invariably show up. Django is marketed as "The framework for perfectionists with deadlines", but I don't find that to be true unless you're very experienced. I've had several bugs that have taken me a great deal of head scratching and time to fix. Not bugs, but, errors.

And yeah. You'll learn a lot handling errors and completing your project, perhaps more than from your original coursework.

Make sure you back up all your work. Github is a good idea.

That's quite the ask! 😉 Where are you stuck?

You can search for Udemy courses. In some of them they build complete projects that you can follow along. There are books as well that guide you through projects, a quick google search or search in amazon books should give you some resources

I’ll second that - Udemy is a great resource and frequent run specials on courses.

Also, don’t overlook Youtube where you can often find same/similar and good quality content available for free.

Regards,

David

Hi Yaqiinso. Just start small. All you need is a good understanding of your project logic, and what you want to achieve. You can also try collaborating on a existing project. You can always reach out to me. I started Django with the docs, and by studying the code base of cloned projects. I have currently built a an ecommerce site, an online banking app, a delivery tracking app, and currently working on my startup, a social media site. With you knowledge you can build the project of your dreams.

What they say is true! Udemy courses are great! BUT they are expensive! Look for a sale they come up a few times a month.
