Django Views

Reminders

• Feedback on final project proposals on Canvas submissions as a comment.
• HW4 due April 29th.
  • Remember to use any late days you have left over!
  • Fully updated Django guide on the course website. This should be all you need for HW4! Will also be helpful for anyone building a webapp for the final project.
• Our last lecture slot is next week, April 22nd.
  • I will briefly cover LLMs at scale and leave the second half of class for open OH.

Final Project Presentations 4/29

• We have 17 (!) different projects to present, so keep things short, no longer than 5 minutes.
• Try to limit your presentation to just 2 or 3 slides:
  • Project motivation/problem statement + description
  • Brief overview of solution or an interesting component you built
  • Demo if applicable
• As a reminder, you cannot take any late days on the final project!
• Final writeup + code is due Wednesday, April 30th.

Django Votr Lab

What we've done so far:

• We created a Django application and setup the skeleton for views.
• We then defined the models Question and Choice to represent our polls.
  • We registered these models to the Django admin site which let us easily create test data.
• We built simple homepage and detail pages.
• We added vote functionality by creating a new Vote model and adding a vote form to the detail page.

Django Votr Lab

What's left?

• Generic views to simplify code
• Polish to make things pretty
  • Great candidate for "vibe coding"
