CIT228 - Advanced Database Systems

Project and Showcase Requirements

You will create your own web app using Django. The app can be on any topic that interests you, but I would keep it fairly simple since you are just learning how Django works. In chapter 19, the author has a Blog exercise that you could create as your project if you aren't sure of what to do.

Minimum requirements for the app are in the table below:

Minimum App Requirements:

Create a web app using Django. Set up the app, virtual environment, infrastructure etc. Create at least 2 models that are related using a many-to-one relationship and a foreign key. Perform migrations on the models	10 points
