=========================

Abstract: 

Creating custom data models (similar to "content types" in Drupal) can
quickly become complicated.   Data that looks like it will fit into 1
database table might actually need 4 tables--or 34.  Django, a python
based web framework, excels as a method of creating relational database
tables, providing comprehensive administrative pages for users, and
pulling the data out again in a variety of formats.  

 

Django may be used for large systems, but it's also suitable for small
projects.   This presentation will cover very basic Django models in the
context of moving office data from spreadsheets to online databases.
