Question

What are some best practices for Django development?

Answer 1

There are a couple of best practices for Django development:

1. Use CDN to serve static content

2. Never disable CSRF protection even when developing locally.

3. Always wrap Model.get calls in try/except.

4.Use select_related on querysets to make your database calls more efficient.

5.Limit template tags to reformatting data. Logic should be kept in the view to uphold the end-to-end principle. If you wish to get started with Dajngo you can watch tutorials on youtube if you are a visual learner.
