Learning django

17 February 2021

While waiting for data to download and some internet connection issues to resolve themselves, I’ve been working on the admin component of gpxz that will let people manage API keys.

It’s been a good excuse to learn django and I’m loving it: so much is provided out of the box (user management, admin interface, database migrations). The magical parts aren’t too hard to override, and there’s lots of well-supported plugins for extending functionality. There’s a bit of a learning curve for figuring out which plugins to go and how to do things the correct way, but it beats hacking together a bunch of flask plugins.
