Hi,

I think I partially answered this to you in your previous question: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/B8v9wjR4-M0

Can you tell me if you didn't understand something?

Mobile and AngularJS apps don't work exactly the same as a normal web page. While in a normal web page, the frontend (what the user sees) is processed in the backend (django) and sent to the user, in a Mobile or AngularJS app, the frontend is already in the user device and it only fetches the data to fill in the frontend. 

The default Django behaviour is to work with "normal web pages", but when you use Django REST Framework it makes it easy to develop APIs and return JSON data (JSON is one of the most popular data formats). 

Now, normal iOS apps are build in Objective-C, normal Android apps are developed in Java. But it's possible to built both iOS and Android apps using Javascript, some of the frameworks that do this are: Cordova/Phonegap, Titanium and Ionic (witch is AngularJS compatible).

There are lots of tutorials in the interned for all this technologies.

This is pretty much the basics of how this works. Feel free to ask more specific questions if you need more detailed response.

Thank you very much for replying my question.
I'm a student in Korea, so my english grammar is not good. I'm sorry for that.

I'm wondering to create a web site as Facebook.

I have 3 questions.

1) Is facebook developed as SPA? or Is it developed as SPA+MPA ?

2) Last time, I understood as when I use DRF with Angularjs, it is not needed to make front-end for Android/iOS. Did I misunderstand about it ?

3) If I need to develop front-end for iOS/Android, I'm curious what cross-platform is the best to fit DRF. Also I'm curious whether the cross-platform is good when it is compared to Native Apps.

Thank you for replying!

1) The Facebook WEBSITE is a MPA, but some of it's content is loaded via ajax (like the newsfeed). The Facebook mobile app is a native application. The Android one is developed in Java, and the iOS is developed in Objectve-C

2) If you use a cross-paltform framework like Cordova you will be programming in HTML/CSS and Javascript. The framework will handle the generation of the apps for each platform from your javascript code. HTML/CSS will define how the app looks and Javascript will handle fetching data from the server and presenting it on the app. AngularJS is a Javascript framework that give you some nice tools, but you are free to chose between using it or not.

3) There's no such a thing as "the best cross-platform to fit DRF". The backend (Django/DRF) will handle storing and processing data, and the mobile app will fetch data from the backend and show it to the user. The platform you will use and the backend are separated things and do not interfere within each other.

About using native or cross-platform, I expressed MY OPNION in the second email of the last message: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-users/B8v9wjR4-M0

But this is a polemic subject, other people may have different opinions about it.

Thank you very much for the professional advice :)

I have more questions..

Is there a way to develop a web site by combining MPA and SPA ? 

And..

Can you please recommend a tutorial of django+angularjs that is about configuration, building structure, and etc for dividing backend and frontend ?

[Filipe Ximenes]

Yes, you can develop a website were some data is processed and presented in the template by the backend, and some is fetched using AJAX (Javascript/Angular) from the frontend.

I do not know a specific tutorial to point you, but from a quick search, this one seems to cover a lot of things:
