Building a Blog Platform with Docker: Markdown Files

Leveled up my Django skills — built a full CRUD Task Manager! After learning the fundamentals of Django ORM, I went on to create a fully functional Task Management Web App with User Authentication from scratch. 🛠️ Project Overview: A To-Do app where users can Register, Login, and manage their tasks — Create, Read, Update & Delete — with status tracking and deadline support. 📚 Key things I learned: ✅ Custom User Model using AbstractUser ✅ Django Authentication — Register / Login / Logout ✅ Full CRUD operations with Django ORM ✅ Task Status — Pending | InProgress | Completed ✅ Deadline tracking with DateField ✅ Protecting routes with login_required decorator ✅ Deploying with Gunicorn + WhiteNoise on Render 💡 Biggest takeaway: Django's built-in auth system is incredibly powerful — you can build a secure login system in just a few lines of code! 🌐 Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gptAe9aC 🔗 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gJju6nqP Every project teaches something new. Keeping the momentum going! 💪 #Django #Python #WebDevelopment #CRUD #Authentication #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCode

Django 6 Cookbook, Second Edition: Build modern full-stack apps with Django 6, Python 3.12, APIs, authentication, testing, search, and deployment by GitforGits | Asian Publishing House is the featured book on Leanpub! The recipes in this book are practical answers to the kind of problems that real Django applications encounter, sometimes on the first day of a project and sometimes deep into the life of a codebase that has grown well beyond its original design. This book is written to guide you to utilize Django 6.0 capabilities in your apps with ease of implementation.

🧠 Wanna learn NEW tech FAST without the burnout? I've cracked the code from my dev grind—here's my 3-step hack to level up quick! 🚀 1. Learn → Get to Know Points Skim docs/tutorials for core ideas only (no deep dive yet). Note 3-5 key "aha" points—like React hooks or Tailwind classes. Watch a 10-min YouTube demo. Boom, basics locked! 📚 2. Apply → Hands-On Pattern Recognition Build a tiny project RIGHT away (e.g., Next.js todo app). Spot repeating patterns—like API calls or state management. Tweak & break it—see what clicks! 🛠️ 3. Connect → Link Dots into Knowledge Map new stuff to what you know (Python loops = JS forEach?). Teach it back in a note/Reel. Review weekly—watch your web of knowledge grow! 🌐 This flipped my learning game—Python & NumPy in days! What's your fast-learn trick?

🚀 Understanding Django Project Structure – Clean & Scalable Folder Layout One of the first things every Django developer learns is how to organize their project properly. A well-structured project makes your code maintainable, scalable, and easy to collaborate on. Here's the standard + recommended folder structure: 1. Standard Structure (created by Django): manage.py → Your project’s Swiss Army knife Inner projectname/ folder contains settings.py, urls.py, wsgi.py, asgi.py 2. Best Practice Structure (for production-ready apps): Separate apps/ folder for all your Django apps Global static/, templates/, and media/ at root Split settings for different environments when the project grows #Django #Python #WebDevelopment #Backend #SoftwareEngineering #BackendDevelopment #DjangoDeveloper #FullStackDeveloper #Programming

Let’s get 1% better every day 💪 With people who know your name. That is in a nutshell the "Python for Pioneers" community InPerson+ is launching next week. No thousands of faceless people online, no people racing ahead with content who make you feel behind from the start. Instead, an intentionally small community where you get enough time to learn the basics of Python, Github, and more in five sessions, and opportunity to code your own first mini-projects in Python. Together, with pioneers like you, career switchers and students. Check it out. We start next week! Mahika S. Samariy Howard and Rimshah Jawad will all be standing by to make this a pleasant experience. Join us! #Python #community #learning

InPerson+ is launching its first micro-community “Python for Pioneers” for anyone who wants to learn Python and build their portfolio in a supportive community. It’s completely free and live sessions begin today. More details in the post below! https://lnkd.in/eTjvA29M https://lnkd.in/es-PjK3z

If you're building with the GitHub Copilot SDK, your app talks to a Copilot CLI process over JSON-RPC, but you don't actually have to manage that CLI binary yourself 🤔 You can either: 1️⃣ Point to a local CLI binary, or 2️⃣ Connect to a remote CLI server Both work well, but they assume someone has set up the CLI beforehand. There's a 3️⃣rd option 👉 Bundle the CLI with your app 📦 Every SDK (Node, Python, Go, .NET) supports shipping the CLI binary as part of your application's package. Your users don't install, or configure anything. Node, Python, and .NET include the CLI as a separate file in the npm/pip/NuGet package Go SDK takes this further 🚀 ➡️ Install the go tool bundler: go get -tool https://lnkd.in/gBEnfBYF ➡️ Run go tool bundler before your build: the CLI gets embedded directly into your compiled binary using Go's embed package. Your app is now a single binary with zero external dependencies You can also pin a specific CLI version: go tool bundler --cli-version X.Y.Z I will also plan to update the FlightLog and TimeTracker app (built on top of Azure Cosmos DB) with this new approach. Here is a quick demo and links are in the comment 👇 #DeveloperTools #AI #Golang

Today: setting up Render and linking your project. Go to Render and create a new Web Service Connect your GitHub account Select your repo Add placeholder files to your repo Create: • index.html → your frontend • backend.py → your backend (we’ll use Python) Upload these to your repo on the main branch This ensures your main branch is created and ready Choose the main branch in Render This is important. Anything pushed to this branch will automatically: • Build • Deploy • Go live on your web URL No manual steps. No need to touch the code. Go back to Claude Make sure your session is connected to: • Your repo • The main branch Claude is now working directly inside your live project. That’s the setup. From this point on: You prompt → Claude writes code → pushes to GitHub → Render deploys automatically. This is where it clicks. Tomorrow, we start prompting and build the first version of your app. If you want help building or getting stuck at any step: 📩 info@recogitate.co.uk #VibeCoding, #AIDevTools, #BuildInPublic, #NoCodeMovement, #StartupTools

🚀 Day 6/7 — Building a Decision-Based Game Engine with Django As part of my 7-day Django challenge, I wanted to build something beyond typical CRUD apps — something that focuses on system design and backend logic. So I built a Decision Maze / Story Engine 👇 🎮 What it does: • Each scenario is a node • Each choice leads to another node • Different decisions → different paths → different endings 🧠 Key Features: ✔ Graph-based architecture (node → choice → node) ✔ Player progress tracking (stateful system) ✔ RPG elements (health, inventory, damage) ✔ Admin-powered story creation ✔ Typing animation & dynamic backgrounds ✔ Sound effects & smooth transitions ✔ 🗺️ Interactive graph map visualization 💡 What I learned: • Designing self-referencing models in Django • Managing user state & progression • Building backend systems like a game engine • Visualizing relational data as a graph This project really helped me shift from building “apps” to building systems. GITHUB => https://lnkd.in/gSgnUVs9 👉 Day 7 coming next — going even more advanced 💪 Would love feedback or suggestions! 🙌 #Django #Python #BackendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #Projects #LearningInPublic #100DaysOfCode #FullStack #ComputerScience
