🔹 Tutorial 4 — Relationships in Django Models

Covers how models are connected using:

  • ForeignKey (one-to-many)
  • ManyToManyField (many-to-many)
  • OneToOneField (one-to-one)
    These relationships allow building structured and relational data models.

🔹 Tutorial 5 — Model Methods and Properties

Shows how to add logic directly inside models using:

  • custom methods
  • @property
    This keeps your code clean and moves business logic closer to the data.

🔹 Tutorial 6 — Django Slugs and Clean URLs

Introduces SEO-friendly URLs using slugs. You learned how to generate slugs automatically and use them in URLs instead of IDs for better readability.

🔹 Tutorial 7 — File Uploads in Django

Explains how to handle file uploads using FileField and ImageField, configure MEDIA_ROOT, and display uploaded files in templates.

🔹 Tutorial 8 — User Authentication in Django

Covers the built-in authentication system:

  • login
  • logout
  • user sessions
    and how Django manages user identity securely.

🔹 Tutorial 9 — User Registration System (Advanced)

Builds a custom registration system with additional fields (email, profile info), validation, and user profile creation.

🔹 Tutorial 10 — Login Required Pages and Permissions

Focuses on securing your app by:

  • restricting access with login_required
  • using permissions and groups
  • protecting views based on roles and ownership

🔹 Tutorial 11 — Django Sessions and Cookies

Explains how Django stores user data:

  • sessions (server-side)
  • cookies (client-side)
    Used for login persistence, preferences, and temporary data.

🔹 Tutorial 12 — Pagination in Django

Shows how to split large datasets into pages using Paginator, improving performance and user experience in lists like blogs or products.

🔹 Tutorial 13 — Search Functionality in Django

Teaches how to implement search using:

  • QuerySets
  • icontains
  • Q objects
    and how to combine search with pagination.

🔹 Tutorial 14 — Django Context Processors

Introduces global template variables using context processors, allowing you to share data (like site name or categories) across all templates.

🔹 Tutorial 15 — Custom Template Filters and Tags

Covers how to extend Django templates by creating:

  • custom filters (data transformation)
  • custom tags (logic and reusable components)
    to keep templates clean and powerful.

✅ Final Tip

This set of tutorials moves you from intermediate to advanced Django, helping you:

  • structure large applications
  • manage data efficiently
  • build secure systems
  • improve user experience
