Form validation to prevent duplicate data into our application

Updating Data in Django

Exporting Data to a CSV file

Django Messages and Notifications to give feedback to the user of the application about their operations

Working with Django DateFields and updating the Database models

Adding details page to see more information of the data saved in the Database

Doing calculations in Django. This is where we cover issuing and receiving stock items

Configuring our application to connect to a MySQL Database

and Finally Stock reorder level alert. This is where users of the application are alerted when the stock reaches a level set by the user.

After going through this course, you are now ready for Part 3.
