[@teamphoenixwarriors7414]

Thankyou sir

[@anupamkhargharia6172]

The project goes in depth and there's a lot of valuable content. My biggest caveat with this tutorial is that it covers a lot of the "hows" but none of the "whys". The instructor did not explain a lot of the concepts but rather just walked through the process of building the project. This is useful for someone already comfortable with Django who is looking to understand how to build an online marketplace, but is very unhelpful for beginner Django developers.

[@stuffinfinland]

You can ask Bing Copilot for the whys. :)

[@domagalskirafa6563]

Wow, I'm genuinely amazed by the quality of this tutorial! Building an advertisement portal from scratch can be quite challenging, but your clear explanations and well-structured approach made it an enjoyable and informative experience. I have to say, this free tutorial surpasses many of the paid courses I've come across on popular platforms. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@mrt1428]

First and foremost a HUGE THANKS for sharing your skills and imparting your expertise. You can truly see and feel your passion and being a novice (first intro to Django) the 2.5 hours of video literally took me a good 30 hours or so over the course of 3 days to complete. You can clearly see how much of an expert you are just by the speed of your approach and presentation but which caused me pain in trying to "pause the video" at the right moment to catch up and before you supersonic clicking away from the code and not revisiting. Frequently I was not able to keep up and I had to go through quite a bit of research elsewhere to find out what the remaining code or why my scrips weren't working LOL All in all it was BRILLIANT! My project works as presented and I now understand the Django structure and methodology and I think you've definitely set the platform for further practice and advancement for me. I will follow your other related work for sure!

Nice. Are you actually using this project right now for your needs? Where did you host it?

[@nocopyrightgameplaystockvi231]

@@pkrockin3923 most of the code, but didn't host it yet as I need a lot of more things to be added. If you need hosting, i recommend Python anywhere (already hosted a BulmaCSS+Django project there for free of cost and its very very good). You can get paid options for better resources, but the free one gives you 100 secs of CPU/day, 512mb space for runtimes. Other options include VPS with Hostinger or Heroku.

[@user-ny5db9do8f]

This tutorial is definitely not for beginners as it does nothing more than briefly mention why he is doing what he is doing. It does not go in depth as to how data flows from the different parts of the framework. That being said this tutorial was perfect for me. This tutorial is for a specific niche of django students who know the basics but just want a quick, to the point tutorial that ends with a complete project.

As the dashboard is closely tied to the item logic i don't see any reason to separate it into another app, it just makes the code more scattered IMHO

Took me about 2weeks on - off to finish this. Did everything word by word on my machine and it works. DISCLAIMER: You should know the basics of DJANGO first, don't go in with zero knowledge. The instructor says at 2:09 that You just need to know HTML and Tailwind, but it is not true. I have several years of Python knowledge, didn't know anything about Django and thought that this will be my first intro to DJANGO. Wrong! I am now considering to learn the basics through documentation and chatting with ChatGPT and coming back to this course to make a speed run with it again in the future.
