Models

[John Crosby]

Hi all,

does any one have any good tips or resources to help me get my head around designing models?

I'm currently going through the Django docs and tinkering.

Kind regards,
John Crosby

Everyone would love to dive in and help but it is just a tad too soon.
You need to follow the tutorial and marry the polls models with the way
you perceive the polls app should work.

After that you should be able to ask specific questions about your own
project and people can more easily jump in and help.

If you are across the polls app and looking for more depth than it
offers, look online for 'relational database design' or 'third normal
form' which is relational-speak for designing databases to match the
real world. The best advice I can offer is to adopt 3rd normal form and
don't compromise. A good book if a little deep for beginners is Domain
Driven Design by Eric Evans.

Welcome and all the best :)
