Building SPAs with Django and HTML Over the Wire (1 ed)

Building SPAs with Django and HTML Over the Wire: Learn to build real-time single page applications with Python 1st Edition

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 development with real-time results.

You'll learn state-of-the-art WebSocket techniques to realise 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 modernise 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 gain a solid understanding of WebSockets with Django.
