James Walters
Two years ago, James and his manager started learning Python and Django to rebuild an internal web app used in their company's call center. An old soul at heart, he started exploring the web before Angular or React ever came along, so the Web 1.0 feel of Django immediately clicked. Today that web app, built with Bootstrap and htmx, is in production use. Going through the process of deploying this app helped him crystallize how to think about getting a project from the code editor to the web browser, and he's here to share those insights and distill deployment down to something more approachable.
Session
Beginners often stumble when it’s finally time to get their Django app online. Instead of another deployment recipe, this talk seeks to explain the fundamental concepts of deploying a Django app and equip developers to think through the process for themselves when they’re ready to make the transition from their code editor to the web.
