Jobs
From the Community
- Optimal SQLite settings for Django by Giovanni Collazo
- Start Charging Customers with Django and DjStripe. I'll definitely be writing a post on using dj-stripe in the future. But in the meantime, this is pretty good too.
- Learn to use Websockets with Django by building your own ChatGPT by Cory Zue
- Using embeddings in production with Postgres & Django for niche ad targeting. There were some interesting discussion regarding this post and the lack of 'integrity' of the poster, but IMHO in the right hands this can be incredibly powerful, but in a nice way.
- Will Vincent just published a new version of his Django for beginners book. This book was crucial in my journey to become a Software Engineer. I can't recommend it enough!
