“In order to demonstrate Django’s rapid development
potential, we will begin by constructing a simple, but
fully-featured, e-commerce store. The goal is to be up and running
with a product catalog and products for sale, including a simple
payment processing interface, in about half-an-hour. If this seems
ambitious, remember that Django offers a lot of built-in shortcuts
for the most common web-related development tasks. We will be
taking full advantage of these and there will be side discussions
of their general use.“In addition to building our starter storefront, this article
aims to demonstrate some other Django tools and techniques. In this
article by Jesse Legg, we will:* Create our Django Product model to take advantage of the
automatic admin tool
* Build a flexible but easy to use categorization system, to better
organize our catalog of products
* Utilize Django’s generic view framework to expose a quick set of
views on our catalog data
* Finally, create a simple template for selling products through
the Google Checkout API”
