Learn web development with step-by-step guides
From beginner to advanced — Django, Python, REST APIs, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and more
From the first alert through containment, eradication, forensics, and post-incident review — a structured playbook for handling web app breaches.
SSRF chains, deserialization, prototype pollution, CSPP, race conditions, and the subtle bugs that get past automated scanners. With Django-specific exploitation and defense.
A deep technical tour of the actual surface attackers probe in modern web apps — protocol quirks, header semantics, cookie behaviors, and the bugs they enable.
Who actually attacks web applications, what they're after, and the threat models that matter for SaaS, e-commerce, and B2B platforms in 2026.
When your existing Postgres is enough, when to graduate to a dedicated vector DB, and how the major options compare for Django apps.
Embed documents, store vectors in Postgres, and let an LLM answer questions about your own data — without hallucinating its sources.
From pip install to a streaming chat view in production. Authentication, error handling, prompt caching, and cost-aware patterns for Django + Claude.
Reasoning models think before answering. Here's how chain-of-thought prompting works, what Anthropic's extended thinking does differently, and when the extra cost is worth it.
Tokens, transformers, context windows, why LLMs hallucinate, and how to choose between Claude, GPT, and open-source models — explained in plain English.
What AI, machine learning, and LLMs actually are, when to use them in your Django app, and a decision framework for picking the right tool.
Build production RPA bots in Python: log into vendor portals, scrape dashboards, fill forms, and persist sessions — orchestrated from Django via Celery. The modern, license-free alternative to UiPath and Automation Anywhere.
HTMX brings SPA-feel interactions back to server-rendered Django: inline forms, live validation, infinite scroll, modals, and partial updates — all from regular Django views returning HTML fragments. The full pattern with CSRF and SSE.
A pragmatic Kubernetes setup for a real Django app: Deployment + Service + Ingress, ConfigMaps and Secrets done right, liveness/readiness probes that work, HPA on the right metric, and PgBouncer in front of PostgreSQL.
Three pillars — logs, metrics, traces — wired into a real Django app. Sentry for errors, structlog for context, django-prometheus for golden signals, OpenTelemetry for distributed traces. The minimum to debug prod without ssh-ing in.
How to ship schema changes without locking your production database. NOT NULL adds, column renames, index creation, and the multi-deploy patterns that separate Django teams who break prod from those who don't.
Stop hand-rolling token auth. Production-grade JWT for Django REST Framework: access/refresh tokens with rotation, blacklist-on-logout, secure storage (httpOnly cookies vs localStorage), and OAuth2 social auth with allauth.
