Introduction

This project was made possible thanks to a collaborative effort of the members of the Developer Student Club at Vancouver Island University. The objective of this guide is to help new developers get onboard quickly and help maintain/develop this project.

Backend

Django

The backend for this app is written in Django. Django is a Python-based free and open-source web framework. Read more about Django and find documentation at djangoproject.com. If you're new to Django, I specifically recommend you complete this tutorial. You may also find this django cheatsheet useful.

Why we chose Django?

  • Written in Python
  • Easy to learn
  • Robust Built-In Template System for HTML rendering
  • Scalable - used by many services such as Instagram and Spotify
  • Great documentation
  • Database management features
  • Has default Admin section
  • Security - just don't forget to turn DEBUG to False in your settings.py
