Spent the last few days messing around with Django to build a simple URL shortener. Wanted to get more comfortable with the ORM and custom auth, so I focused mostly on the backend logic rather than the UI. Implemented Base62 encoding for the short keys, a basic user system so people can actually manage their own links, and some simple click tracking to see if the redirects are actually working. It was a good exercise in mapping database relationships and handling redirects properly. #Python #Django #WebDev #Backend #CodingPractice

Day 6 of my 90 Days DRF Challenge 🚀 Today I learned how to use Mixins in Django REST Framework to simplify CRUD operations like create, update, delete, and list. I built APIs using these mixins and tested them on Postman to ensure everything worked smoothly. Mixins make API development faster, cleaner, and more reusable a powerful tool for real-world product building. #Django #DRF #Mixins #Python #API #Postman #LearningJourney #90DaysChallenge

When I first started working with APIs, choosing the right framework was always confusing. 🤔 Over time, I realized it’s not about which is better - it’s about what fits your use case. For me: • FastAPI → when I need lightning-fast, high-performance APIs ⚡ • Django → when I want a full-stack solution with everything built-in 🧩 Both are powerful… just built for different problems. As a developer, the real skill is knowing when to use what. If you’re stuck choosing between FastAPI and Django, feel free to DM me - happy to help. 💬 #FastAPI #Django #BackendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #Python

💡 In today’s lab, I had the opportunity to build a Weather Web Application using Django and API integration. This project gave me practical insights into: Understanding the Django project structure Integrating APIs with Python to fetch real-time data Displaying live weather information on a web interface Working hands-on like this made it much clearer how backend logic connects with the frontend, and I’m excited to keep exploring and building real-world applications! 🚀 #Django #Python #API #WebDevelopment #StudentProject

Generic Views vs Function Views in Django Function-Based Views (FBVs) Simple Python functions. Full control over logic. ✅ Easy to read & debug ✅ Great for custom or complex logic ❌ Code repetition across views ❌ Harder to extend/reuse Use when: You need custom behavior or one-off endpoints. Generic Class-Based Views (GCBVs) Pre-built views for common patterns (List, Detail, Create, Update, Delete). ✅ Less boilerplate — DRY code ✅ Easy to extend with mixins ❌ Steeper learning curve ❌ Can feel like “magic” — harder to debug Use when: You’re building standard CRUD operations. #Django #Python #WebDevelopment #BackendDevelopment

I used to think my Python UI code was "fine"—until I tried to write a unit test for it. 🤯 If you've ever felt trapped between Choosing #Streamlit or #Gradio, or if you've struggled with code that’s impossible to test without launching a browser, this article is for you. I've been working on #AgnosticPyUI to prove that we can apply the same clean architecture patterns we use in our backends to our frontend Python code. Decoupling your UI library from your logic isn't just about flexibility; it's about peace of mind. Read more about it in my latest Medium post: https://lnkd.in/eZpjQxqA I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! Which one do you prefer using? #PythonDevelopers #DataScience #Testing #SoftwareEngineering #OpenSource

Tech Stack: Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, LanguageTool API Challenge: Building a system that can accurately detect grammar and spelling mistakes while also generating a meaningful paraphrased version of the text. Initially faced issues with unreliable APIs, backend errors, and UI not responding properly. Solution: Implemented Language Tool's API for reliable grammar correction and built a custom paraphrasing logic to ensure consistent output. Fixed frontend-backend communication using Flask APIs and improved the UI with a modern black & lavender theme for better user experience. Code: https://lnkd.in/gySEs6UN

🚀 Day 64 | Set Built-in Functions & JavaScript Switch Case Today I explored Python sets and practiced JavaScript basics 💻 🔹 What I Worked On: • Python Set functions → add(), remove(), discard(), union(), intersection() • Learned how sets handle unique values automatically • Practiced JavaScript switch statement for decision making • Built a dice value program using prompt() and switch-case 💡 Key Learning: • Sets are useful for removing duplicates and performing set operations • switch-case makes code cleaner compared to multiple if-else • Improved understanding of logic handling in both Python & JavaScript 🔥 Takeaway: 👉 Learning multiple technologies together improves versatility Consistency is making me stronger every day 🚀 #Day64 #Python #JavaScript #SetFunctions #SwitchCase #ProblemSolving #CodingJourney #10000Coders #PythonDeveloper #SravanKumarSir #valiBashasir
