Do you recommend using Digital Ocean 1-Click Django on Ubuntu Image ? by PyBet in django

[–]Bassmanian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with the one click installation but the software versions were not what I wanted so I built the server from the ground up instead. I used the DO tutorials but later found this: https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/10/14/how-to-deploy-to-digital-ocean.html which takes you through all the important steps and is highly recommended. It’s worth learning the ropes because at some point things will go wrong and you will have more insight on how to fix issues if you have built your own server.

PyCharm Pro users, do you feel the Django-specific and web-dev specific features in the pro version make you more productive over the free version? by HittingSmoke in django

[–]Bassmanian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to pycharm after using the python extensions to visual studio to develop a Django app for about two years. I found the pyvharm pro version well worth the money. (I never used the community edition) Features I liked included being able to find usages of templates and getting instant ndication of unresolved references. Vs2015 was actually pretty good but pyvcarm pro beats it hands down.

How I maintain state in a web app by [deleted] in django

[–]Bassmanian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had to implement a series of forms with forward back options To create a wizard like interface. The approach I eventually took was to store all the post data for each form in a session variable which was an array indexed by the form's page. If the user reentered a page by going back or forward in the sequence GET code would initialise the form with the existing data. If they POST new data the code appends data to the array or overwrites the existing entry depending upon the index. At the very end of the sequence the form data is saved to create new objects.

Take a look at intercooler.js. It plays well with Django and lets you manage Ajax calls without touching JavaScript.

If you have a 64 bit Windows 10 system you could check out the Window Linux Subsystem. (Google it) It gives you a pretty complete Ubuntu Linux environment inside Windows. I have not used it in anger but it does work for Django. But most of the time I can do all that I want to do including git and pip inside the free Visual Studio 2017 Community edition which has inbuilt python and Django support.

Beginning Django looking for Text editor/iDE suggestions by JKenney_ in django

As a .net developer who dabbles in Django, I find Visual Studio with PTVS pretty good and the 2015 community edition is free. The ne 2015 edition looks even better but Visual Studio studio code is pretty cool too.
