Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin Now, it Just Works™ (I have to use Alembic at work right now and I'm missing Django)

Slide 38

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin

Slide 39

Slide 39 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin Django is "Boring Software" And I mean this in the nicest way possible

Slide 40

Slide 40 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin The Web went all-in on SPAs But it seems that wasn't the right choice for everything…

Slide 41

Slide 41 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin What is Django? Is it complete? Do we have a goal?

Slide 42

Slide 42 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin APIs rule the Earth Ideally just one set for all your apps

Slide 43

Slide 43 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin Django Rest Framework is good… …but I think FastAPI and Pydantic have some nice ideas too

Slide 44

Slide 44 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin HTMX shows us a different way (I've tried, I'm just not a React/Vue/etc. person)

Slide 45

Slide 45 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin {% csrf_token %} {{ form|crispy }}

Slide 46

Slide 46 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin def create_print(request): if request.method == "POST": form = PrintForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): if not request.htmx: # Do stuff else: form = PrintForm() if request.htmx: return render(request, "create/_print_form.html", {"form": form}) else: return render(request, "create/print.html", {"form": form})

Slide 47

Slide 47 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin So what can Django become? Is there a singular goal?

Slide 48

Slide 48 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin What do today's developers need? What do we aim for? Who knows best?

Slide 49

Slide 49 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin First-party API framework Inspired by DRF, FastAPI and others HTMX templating and form handling Doesn't have to be first-party, already some plugins Separately-useable ORM? I literally first heard this idea at DjangoCon in 2008

Slide 50

Slide 50 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin But that's just what I want Django's best when we all work together and balance needs

Slide 51

Slide 51 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin Big features are driven by individuals They need someone to take the wheel and work to a vision

Slide 52

Slide 52 text

Andrew Godwin / @andrewgodwin You can inspire our future. And plenty of us are here to help out.
