There are many different ways to deploy Django (or actually, Python/WSGI) applications. You have to chose the one that suits your case best. It might be a good idea to use a PaaS like Heroku or Pythonanywhere, so you can focus your time on actual development. > - switching to Postgres I recommend to use Postgres from day 1, also for local development. That said, Django's dumpdata / loaddata commands can often be used to easily migrate data to a different database.

By default, you should get a ModelChoiceField, and it should just work. If you want to edit objects on the other side of the relationship, you can use an inline formset: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/forms/modelforms/#django.forms.models.BaseInlineFormSet > I'm guessing these are all very common use cases, and that there are more > which could be better documented.

To be honest, most of the time, my problem was that I did not take the time to read the official documentation carefully enough :) If you have suggestions on how to improve the documentation, it would be great if you open a pull request on Github, or maybe initiate a discussion here or on django-developers. I also keep a small list of blog posts that cover some less common cases that the official docs don't mention. For "advanced" things, the IRC channel #django on freenode can also be quite helpful. The Django Girls tutorial is also very good. http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/ -- René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
