Form Processing in the Code-Sharing Application

Abstract

All of your Django applications so far—with the exception of the comments system for the weblog—have been focused exclusively on systems where trusted members of a site’s staff will enter content through Django’s administrative interface, rather than on interactive features that let ordinary users submit content to be displayed. For this new application, though, you’re going to need a way to allow users to submit their snippets of code. You’ll also want to make sure that their submissions are in a format that works with the data models you’ve set up.
