What Primary Keys (PKs) are and why they’re essential.
How to define and use Foreign Keys (FKs) to link models.
One-to-many and many-to-many relationships in Django.
Writing queries that take advantage of these relationships.

Section 14: REST APIs
In this section we will learn Django Rest Framework which helps us to create a REST API using Django for any Django web application.
Section 15: Pagination, Search & User permissions.
Every modern web app needs advanced features like pagination, & search. We learn how to paginate out webpages and how to add search functionality to our webpages in Django. We also learn how to add user permissions to our Django models so that only a certain set of users on our app have access to certain models.
Section 16: Building an E-commerce site.
This section will cover everything you need to know to build a fully functional E-commerce website. Right form listing products, searching them, adding them to the cart, and checkout we implement each and every feature from scratch.

A good web-app has a good admin panel, in this section we will learn how to customise the admin panel for our E-commerce site to make it better to track and manage our orders.
Section 18: Building A Web Based CV Generator.
In this section we will build a tool which automatically generates a CV in a PDF format from user submitted data. This app will help users to collect their data which they want on their resume and will dynamically generate a CV for them which is automatically downloaded to their computer.
Section 19: Building a Web Based Link Scraper.
We will build a web based utility tool which will automatically scrape all the links present on the given webpage and will generate a report out of it in terms on the link name and address. This app will accept a webpage URL from the end-user and will then scrape the given webpage for links, store all the link related information in the back-end and will display it to the user as well.

We will build a web based social media app with a full fledged authentication system with reset and forgot password functionality. The app will also include features like commenting and liking a post by other users.
Section 21: Building an Advanced Expense Tracker.
In this section we build an advanced expense tracker web application which allows users to create, read, update and delete expenses across multiple categories and then calculates the statistical data such as past month, week and year expenses spread across categories. We also visually represent these expenses in charts using CharJS and also learn how data from Django backed database could be loaded into dynamic JavaScript charts.
Section 22: Building a Real-Time Chat App.
In this section we build a Real-TIme chat application using Django Channels and WebSockets. By default Django uses HTTP protocol to make synchronous requests, but Django also supports asynchronous requests as well which are required to real time and multi client communication. In this section we explore the asynchronous capabilities of Django and build a multi-client chat application in which multiple users could connect to and send messages to a chat room.
Section 23: Building a Multi-Vendor Digital Marketplace App.
In this section we build an app which allows vendors/sellers to sell digital products to their customers. A customer can buy a product by making an online payment using Stripe as a payment gateway and download the digital product only after a successful payment. A vendor/seller will have the ability to create digital products, list them on marketplace and sell them. Along with it the seller will also be provided a dashboard which provides sales statistics such as the annual, monthly and weekly sales for the products listed. In this section you will learn how to implement features like adding a paywall to restrict access to a product, how to integrate stripe payment gateway to make payments, how to create sales dashboard to display statistical sales data in numeric as well as graphical format.
