Like any other. Domain analysis to get the models (database schema, mostly), functional analysis to get the use cases (urls and views), and common sense to fill the gaps. > I understand that the urlconf really is a map of the application, and > that works for me.

Well, just everything in a program is a "piece of functionality", so this doesn't mean much. > However: > > when i try to mix and match apps i find ( which is the point of having > apps no? ) Partly. You're not forced into reusing the _whole_ app - you can override and/or extend whole parts of it (templates, urls, views etc - mostly, anything but the models). Most of the times, I have one "project-app" where I override/extend existings "pluggable" apps so they fit my needs. > I tend to create projects that have a mishmash of css/ > javascript libraries. ie I like YUI-grids, whilst someone else likes > blueprint css, I like mookit, while others like jquery especially in > templates... How are other people fighting this problem ? I personnaly avoid any such external dependencies in my own apps - except of course for the "project" app(s) - and don't even try to reuse third-part apps that are too tightly coupled to a specific js or css library - unless they in fact just provide helpers for using one of these libraries that I happen to use in a given project, but then it's a different story. But anyway : the less reusable parts of a pluggable app are the templates - heck, that the very first thing you're going to override for any project. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
