This year DjangoCon Europe happened in Copenhagen, Denmark, at a very creative and special place AFUK - Academy for Untamed Creativity. Surrounded by artistic souls, we learned more about web technologies, got to know each other at ecologic reusable disposable cups of coffee, enjoyed delicious authentic food, and socialized with Django-branded beverages. As always, there was also a party with people drinking IPA (not to be confused with API). And at the weekend Django developers were solving bugs for Django and related open-source software at the coding sprints.
Here I would like to present you with the top 5 talks that I liked most of all.
Django and Web Security Headers
Adam Johnson (@AdamChainz) was talking about special response headers that tell browsers to treat data of the website more securely and which Django settings are responsible for those headers.
Docs or it didn't Happen!
Mikey Ariel (@ThatDocsLady) was talking about the necessity of documentation and what to write there.
Pushing the ORM to its Limits
Sigurd Ljødal (@sigurdlj) was talking about advanced Django ORM use cases.
Logging Rethought 2: The Actions of Frank Taylor Jr.
Markus Holtermann (@m_holtermann) was talking about logging structured data to log files instead of the traditional plain text messages.
Maintaining a Django Codebase after 10k Commits
Joachim Jablon (@Ewjoachim) and Stéphane Angel (@twidi) were talking about the best practices developing large-scale Django projects.
