Django App - Material Design

Editor -

Hello Coders!

This article presents an open-source Django App crafted and built on top of a modern Material Design from Creative-Tim. Django Material Design uses some of the best practices recommended for any Django Project and a basic set of features like authentication, Docker, and CI/CD deployment scripts.  

✅ Apps Concept in Django

In Django, an "app" (short for application) is a self-contained module or component of a web application that encapsulates a specific functionality or set of related features.

Django encourages developers to structure their projects by breaking them down into multiple apps, each responsible for a particular aspect of the application.

Django Apps are designed to be reusable, making it easier to develop complex web applications with modular and maintainable code.
