Guides for learning + doing better web and app development. Created by Coding for Entrepreneurs.
A collection of Markdown guides covering Django setup, deployment, and surrounding tooling — PostgreSQL, Celery, S3, and various hosting providers. Aimed at beginners learning Django for the first time, particularly those following Coding for Entrepreneurs video courses. Not a standalone reference; it's a companion to paid course content.
Covers the full beginner stack in one place: local setup, virtualenv, database, and deployment across five different hosts. The Celery + Redis guide is genuinely useful for newcomers who hit async task needs early. Bilingual content (English + Spanish) is a thoughtful inclusion that few tutorial repos bother with. The Raspberry Pi Django server guide is a niche that's hard to find elsewhere.
Dead since February 2021 — Django has had multiple major releases since then, and guides referencing Heroku's free tier, WebFaction (shut down 2023), and South (replaced by built-in migrations since Django 1.7) are actively misleading now. No versioning or 'last verified against Django X.Y' metadata anywhere. The repo is essentially a static artifact of a course circa 2018–2020, not a living reference. Anyone adopting this today will hit deprecated patterns immediately.
