What do you like best about Django?

Django is Python Web Framework. The elegant and clear syntax of Python aids in the development in making developing web apps with Django preferable to those who enjoy coding in Python. The biggest sell for me to use Django was that it is open source and has a large community that supports it. You have people that work on the core software and other community members providing third party plugin tools for it. Next, the way how Python has its own package manager made installing/upgrading Django as breeze as well with third party tools where often one line in the command line only needed to be executed to have a tool be installed and configured correctly. Python has virtualenv, this creates a "sandbox" of Python libraries and tools that are separate from your OS libraries. This kept development contained and allowed quick prototyping if needed with Django. The Django models are fairly straight forward to implement to get the "content" functionality that you want. For production, Gunicorn and Nginx worked very well in providing a stable and lightweight server experience handling request to the Django app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

I would prefer if the documentation for Django was more clear and organized. Often search on the site for information, instead browsing through the site to find what I need, a custom google search helped me a lot more finding what I needed on the site. I disliked the tutorial/walkthrough/building first app pages. The site would walk you through in making your first Django app, then next two steps over they have you modify the changes they told you to do. For example, and I'm paraphrasing giving you a situation, they would say "this is how you would write this to configure that. [Refreshes page] you now see this method works. [Moves on to next step] The last implementation worked but their is a better way in doing this and you won't need to worry about these following problems. Change the line you modified before to this." I'd rather be taught the correct and most efficient way to do something from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

Django takes all the powerful things that you are aware of from Python and takes it to provide a full web framework. What was big for me was the 3rd party software support. If you think of some functionality you would like to incorporate in your app, chance someone wrote a tool for Django already. It is just then using Python's package manager to automatically download and install it for you in your sand boxed environment.

There is a learning curve, but once you understand the ways how the models talk to the database and back to the views and then what the user sees with the templates, you have a powerful tool under your belt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Django solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Django project I worked on was for creating a simple blog. Blogging solutions out there were too big and cluttered with features. I blogging solution was needed on software built just for blogging needs and nothing more. The result is the blog system was built and it is light and efficient.

What do you like best about Django?

Django have vast security feature with support of large number of libraries which make it more useable for rapid and scalable product Devlopment. I like the admin panel, which Django provides and the very simplicity of implementing complex functionalities without much configuration. libraries support make it more powerful while it comes to integration with another instances. another good thing about django is having high reachable customer support.This frequency of use ensures that solutions to common problems are readily available, enhancing overall productivity and project success. over all after some hand on experience it will easy to use.

What do you dislike about Django?

after using django for a few year i realised i will be quite difficult for begginers might be it will take time to learn django because of multiple convention to do a task. Django's monolithic structure might be too clumsy for extremely small projects, and the learning curve could be quite deadly for begginers. yeah while using it understand those who love flexible desing of project will got bothered because of convention over configuration.

What problems is Django solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am the owner of an online retail business that is growing, and I face several challenges that prevent me from scaling. The first challenge is inventory management. Because there is a lack of real-time tracking, stockouts and overstock situations occur frequently. My checkout process does not personalize and is quite cumbersome, leading to high cart abandonment rates. Another issue is order fulfillment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Django?

What I like best about Django is how it makes building websites easier and faster. It provides a lot of tools and shortcuts that help me create complex websites with less code. Plus, Django takes care of a lot of common tasks like user authentication and database management, so I can focus more on adding unique features to my site. and it aslo provides the admin panel automatically as it is made with python it makes it more easier to work with someone who knows about python.

I am using it normally.

it is easy to integrate it with react or other frontend framworks

Figma can be used as ui and ux designer whereas django can be used as backend they work perfectly to one another can use the code in django templates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

the thing i dislike about it is the deployment part not all platforms can deploy it and sometimes the database issue if I have made changes to it after committing then it makes it difficult to undo it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Django solving and how is that benefiting you?

Django's built-in tools and conventions streamline the development process, allowing me to create web applications more quickly. This saves me time and effort, especially when building complex features or handling common tasks like database management and it comes with built-in security features, such as protection against common web vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). By handling security concerns out of the box, Django helps me create more secure web applications without needing to implement these features manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has helped in developing a large scale django based AI chatbot service application using the NLP libraries.

What problems is Django solving and how is that benefiting you?

Django solves all problems which come with a user backend Needs, it provides a solution for all your needs, for example, if a developer loves in-house ORM, they don't want any additional ORMs to use with their backend framework (for example: NodeJs with Mongoose) so Django provide its very powerful in house ORM.
