Book recommendations

I have been learning the Django for a bout one and half months, after leaning a basic python for two months(i have no experience with programming before, super noob). Now I can build just a simple to do app stuff and blogs but I still habe no idea what’s really going on behind scenes, and felt I need a book for better understanding or whatnot,

So my question is; is there a good guide book for me at the moment? I looked it up and found some ‘Django for beginners by William Vincent’ and ‘two scoops of django’ which lots of people say it’s not for beginners.

Or another way is to learn Flask first for better understanding behind surfaces,,and then back to learning Django,,

What do you guys think?
Your advice and opinion will be very appreciated!

Worried that heavy use of SQL is an antipattern?

Hi,

I'm setting up a couple of routes whereby I'd like to fetch a set of results for the user based on some complex(ish) filter behaviour.

What I've been doing so far is creating queries in SQLalchemy, wrapping them up into a custom BaseQuery class to standardise some of the methods, and invoking the relevant query instance in my routes.

The queries themselves get quite complex, so I've made efforts to break them into CTEs for testing and traceability purposes, in a couple of cases I've got 3 or 4 CTEs chained together. I've also delegated the more complex queries to background tasks in celery, to stop them from clogging up the request queue.

I'm also using Azure SQL so I have the option to scale the hardware if needed.

My thinking was that offloading the filtering logic to SQL gives the query optimiser the chance to do its magic and would be better than me trying to optimise inside the application.

I am, however, worried that implementing logic in this way is a bit of an anti pattern because:

I haven't seen many examples online with a similar approach
The filtering logic is sitting within the SQL query, which I'm worried

I just created a script that relocates dowloaded files based on their extensions!

This script is very useful in case your downloading files all day long and you feel kind of lost in your download folder!

Please tell me what you think of my repo and what I could Improve.

I'm posting this to get visibility but also to get some returns so that I can improve my repo and code :)

Model design - How to represent a field where it should have one of two types?

Hello,

I have an entity where it should have either an audio comment or a text comment, but it can't have both of them at the same time.

Now, as first thought, it can be something like this

class FeedbackFieldsMixin(models.Model):

comment_text = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=250)
comment_audio = models.FileField(blank=True, null=True, upload_to=audio_upload)

But, this just doesn't feel right, as model can't have both at the same time there will be always a field with a value of null which is not needed and vice versa, so, what do you think about this? what is the best practise for such case?

Thanks all.

Should I use React Js with Django to build a real-time video chat app?

My project is to build a video chat app like Google Meet where multiple users can join. I am planning on using React Js for frontend and Django for backend. I understand that I have to use Django channels for handling asynchronous requests with Django and WebRTC for live video transmission with React Js. However, I haven't tried tinkering with any of those yet. So, I need some opinions on my choice of frameworks and libraries. Should I proceed with these frameworks or are there better alternatives? Explanation for preferences would be much appreciated. I also understand that I would have to build an API (using Django Rest Framework) to interact with the React Js frontend.

What is the best way to build a flask app for Geographical HeatMap?

I have location data based on zip codes in the US. Each zip has a shipment cost associated with it. I would like to create an app where a user can select a zip code and can see the data within 200 miles of its radius on a geographical heatmap. I would like to create a map where you can actually zoom in and stuff.

It is a pretty straightforward application but I would like to know:

1) If is there any flask library for heatmaps or if not what is the best javascript library i can use for it in the frontend?

2) Is there any library that makes life easier to search within 200 miles radius from a location (zip code) in the location data. I know geopandas has the ability to do that but if it is any better library? Because first I would also need to convert all the zip codes to the coordinates.

​

Thanks

How would I go about automatically pushing new files to the heroku git, to update my flask website?

Hello everyone,

My first project in flask I've actually deployed.

I didn't do this very elegantly, but I just wanted to get something done.
I have some external data, that I track using excel. In my Flask app, I load this excel data, and display as a web page.

Everything works great, but I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to push new data to the heroku git without having to,

git add .

git commit

git push heroku

everytime I update the data.

Or at least if I have to, is there a way to automate this process, so that whenever I update my excel file, I can push this automatically to herokuapp.

I am a super noob here so sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm happy to clarify.

Any information or insight is greatly appreciated...

I am making a automated job board which:

uses ReactJs and Django REST Framework
background worker for scraping jobs from other sites

In coming days I'll be adding :

dynamic filter to select jobs by technology and location
ability to pay using stripe and post jobs

Side project I built using Django (a Tinder for baby names), and what I learned along the way

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a side project I worked on last year and some of what I learned while building it.

The site itself is called "My Name Fairy" [https://www.mynamefairy.com](https://www.mynamefairy.com). It's a Tinder for baby names.

https://preview.redd.it/i1hpbrei0xb61.png?width=1999&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bd0fe053d25300373f1c5618c106e1d6ecba4ee

Here's a summary of the tech I used to build it:

* Django for BE (obviously :) )
* Nginx for the webserver and serving static assets
* Postgres for the DB
* Vue.js in some places (The [card swiping page](https://www.mynamefairy.com/swipe-names) and [account page](https://www.mynamefairy.com/accounts/me))
* Plain js in other places
* Sass for the styles
* Webpack to build the FE
* Docker/docker-compose for deployment
* Deployed on a digital ocean droplet. The Postgres DB is also a managed DB from DO.
* Amazon CloudFront for a CDN

I mostly started it as a way to learn some new tech (specifically Postgres, Vue, Sass, Webpack, Docker, Nginx and deploying) and it's been great for that. It's also been fun to build something from the ground up. I've always come into a project that's already established. Having to make everyone decision from the beginning was empowering and let me play with tech I wouldn't get to otherwise.

Here are some classes I took:

* [Advanced CSS and Sass](https://www.udemy.com/course/advanced-css-and-sass/) by Jonas Schmedtmann. This class is *awesome*. Seriously, I can't recommend

I created a simple app to monitor stock market and stay updated.

I am a Data Scientist with more statistics experience. Recently I am turning my attention to learn more of the coding aspects in a variety of use cases. As part of that, I created this simple webapp with a clean UI which

let's user choose a stock/company/ETF from NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges
shows prices across a chart with customizable time periods (1d/1mo/3mo/1y/2y/5y/10y/ytd)
shows options info table closest to stock price with color codes (green-ITM, white-OTM)
any recent news about the underlying organization

Its updated live. It uses the yfinance, finviz API for data, Plotly + Dash to create the visualization and Heroku platform for deployment.
