Re: Unpaid Internship

[Julius Chesoni]

I’m interested in a paid internship so that I could be motivated to work
hard. I am from Nairobi in East Africa and I don’t have any job because of
poverty and massive unemployment in sub Saharan Africa.

Thanks.

You must be a very good Django programmer.

Thank you on behalf of Django community, for such a great answer that even
novices like me are able to understand.

 I had no idea that there were other non default configurations of the
variable BASE_DIR.

Is programming in Django intellectually satisfactory

[Julius Chesoni]

 Hi guys, I find programming in the abstract very interesting and full of
intellectual benefits similar to those acquired from Mathematics. However,
when it comes to programming languages I find the practice of programming
very tiresome since there are very many functions in the documentations. I
am not able to enjoy reading the documentations even though I am eager to
know how to master the particular language. How do you guys manage to be
masters in languages like Django since I see some great people contributing
to every question. This amazes me.

Kind regards
Julius

Django CORS Headers

[Salman Butt]

Hello i am using drf to create api for viewing User profile and relevant 
information, during Sign up and log in there were no issues as it didn’t 
required any headers but now since user is logged in i have created a JWT 
token for authentication and i am using that token to verify the user, my 
backend is in DRF while front end is on React, i have configured my 
settings in order to allow access to all origins but this issue is still 
there and i have tried so many different work arounds but to not affect. 
This is the error:

Serving static files in production

[Brian Odhiambo]

Hello everyone,
I am deploying a django project to a dedicated server.
I have set nginx to find static files in this file "staticfiles".

This is the setting in settings.py file:

STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = 'static/'

After running collectstatic command, my project can't still load the static 
files.
Could I get a general way of going about this, without having to rely on a 
third party library like whitenoise?

My appreciation in advance.

Re: Is programming in Django intellectually satisfactory

[Brian Carey]

If you want intellectual stimulation start with vanilla python or js. If you 
want to learn a framework. This is purely subjective. Either way I don't know 
how you'd do it without reading or a full-time tutor. If you find it too 
tiresome then maybe a little introspection is in order.

Re: Serving static files in production

[David Nugent]

Ensure that nginx is correctly configured, since from what you have
provided the django configuration looks correct (although I generally use
/static/ as STATIC_URL - with the leading / but should work as you have
it). Check the nginx error log to try to discover the cause of the 404s. I
suspect that the location blocks are defined in the wrong order or the
directory pointing to the incorrect location.

In any case, whitenoise is not a bad solution tbh, and very flexible
besides. I would solve the above - which should work - before investigating
that further.

David

Django could be thought of as a language. In fact it is a "framework" - 
a jargon word which probably needs decoding but I don't have time.


Django is written in Python. Python started as a teaching language for 
primary school kids but it has sufficient sophistication for masters of 
Python to build almost anything.


The two main benefits of Python are:

 * ease of learning for beginners and
 *  powerful enough for complex projects to be built faster than most 
other languages.


Python was chosen by Django's original authors for a web project and 
they built libraries of useful routines which they eventually 
open-sourced as Django to make website development much more satisfying 
for other developers.


The intellectual satisfaction - and therefore main attraction of Django 
- comes from being able to do anything. There are plenty of guidelines 
and "best practices" but absolutely no frustrating restrictions. If you 
find a web problem you want to solve, I would be very surprised if it 
couldn't be solved with Django.


Many would argue front-end problems cannot be solved with a back-end 
server architecture like Django but nowadays, with htmx, that argument 
is lost.


So, to answer your question in the abstract, Django is used as the 
interface "language" between a database and the user with a web browser. 
It contains an "Object Relational Mapper" (ORM). The mathematics of 
relational database management systems (RDBMS) should pique your 
interest. The language of RDBMS is Structured Query Language (SQL) but 
because Django has its ORM you no longer need to learn SQL. The Django 
library of queries comes to the rescue.


Django, HTML+htmx and CSS therefore is all you really need to build a 
completely fuctional and intellectually satisfying website.


My advice to you is to find a small project you really want to do and 
get started one step at a time.


Someone else said practice practice practice. That is completely 
correct. You need to start somewhere if you are really interested.


With practice you can tackle ever more interesting projects.

Good luck.



Kind regards
Julius

Re: Serving static files in production

Thanks for your response @David.
Here is my nginx configuration.[image:
1c9b64ec-c74f-4004-8b8d-9a6e7a3d8069.png]
Pointed it to staticfiles after running collectstatic files command.
