Writing Reusable Django Applications

Abstract

So far, this book has mostly been concerned with covering various aspects of Django in the context of building a set of specific applications. Through the process of writing the code for those applications, you’ve seen Django’s major components in action and learned how they can drastically reduce the amount of work needed to build useful web applications. But that’s really just a small part of what Django can do to help you cut down on the time and effort needed to build out an application. By encouraging certain best practices and by making it easier to follow them as you write, Django also helps you to improve the quality, flexibility, and reusability of your code. And in the long run, that’s a much larger gain.
