Online Bookstore App

 

Introduction

Learn how to build production-ready websites with Python & Django.

Once you have learned the basics of Django there is a massive gap between building simple "toy apps" and what it takes to build a "production-ready" web application suitable for deployment to thousands or even millions of users.

We will build from scratch an online bookstore that supports payments via Stripe. And we will cover in-depth the following topics: Django 3.0 and Python 3.7, Docker, PostgreSQL, advanced user registration, environment variables, permissions, search, file/image uploads, payments via Stripe, security, performance, comprehensive testing, and deployment.
