Overview of this book

The HTML over WebSockets approach simplifies single-page application (SPA) development and lets you bypass learning a JavaScript rendering framework such as React, Vue, or Angular, moving the logic to Python. This web application development book provides you with all the Django tools you need to simplify your developments with real-time results. You’ll learn state-of-the-art WebSocket techniques to realize real-time applications with minimal reliance on JavaScript. This book will also show you how to create a project with Docker from the ground up, test it, and deploy it on a server. You’ll learn how to create a project, add Docker, and discover development libraries, Django channels, and bidirectional communication, and from then, on you’ll create real projects of all kinds using HTML over WebSockets as a chat app or a blog with real-time comments. In addition, you’ll modernize your development techniques by moving from using an SSR model to creating web pages using WebSockets over HTML. With Django, you’ll be able to create SPAs with professional real-time projects where the logic is in Python. By the end of this Django book, you’ll be able to build real-time applications, as well as gaining a solid understanding of WebSockets with Django.

In Chapter 6, Creating SPAs on the Backends, we learned essential features for setting up an SPA using HTML over WebSockets, such as changing pages, components, and sessions. We even went a step further by creating a server-side rendering system for each page so that search engines can index all content – a feature that didn’t require much effort as we are inside Django.

We now have the skills and maturity to make applications with all the features that SPA development entails. Now is the time! We will unify all the knowledge acquired in the creation of a perfectly prepared blog. Undoubtedly, this is an excellent exercise regardless of the language or framework that we want to assimilate; it encompasses all the basic tasks of any web development: querying, filtering, and adding to a database (search engine and comments), generating HTML from results (a list of articles and an individual page), use of views (SSR...
