Once you have learned the basics of Django there is a massive gap between building simple "toy apps" and what it takes to build a "production-ready" web application suitable for deployment to thousands or even millions of users. 

This book covers in-depth how professional Django programmers do their job and build these real-world web applications. We will build from scratch an online bookstore that supports purchases via Stripe. And we will cover in-depth the following topics:

* Django 3.0 & Python 3.7

* advanced user registration: custom user models, social authentication

* using Docker & PostgreSQL locally

* environment variables (no more multiple settings files!)

* permissions and file/image uploads

* Stripe for orders

* search

* security & performance 

* deployment
