- January 2022 / [Django Application] Breaking Down Practical Concepts of Web Development with Django.

  - Learn intermediate Django web development, Redis cache, payment integration, and other advanced practical techniques.

* This is a book I picked up because I’m interested in DDD. It has 208 pages, so it's not too thick and can be read easily.

- The explanations using images make it more accessible, but due to the thinness of the book and the abundance of images, there is less written content, resulting in many omissions.

* This book is based on Python and explains concepts using example project designs, making it easier to understand.

- However, there was a lack of sufficient explanation regarding why certain designs were chosen.

- In trying to apply this in practice by creating a specific Django project, I encountered limitations. Achieving this level of design at the beginning would require a significant amount of time, and further modifications for validation would demand additional time.

- Rather than being a design that is friendly for performance and developer understanding, it feels more like a design intended for DDD, aimed at improving maintenance efficiency. I couldn't help but think that introducing it means refactoring the existing code to address boilerplate and code vulnerabilities.

* This is one of the books I studied to support data preprocessing and analysis at the National Police Agency.

- At 620 pages, it is relatively thick. The book focuses on practical exercises, selecting useful techniques that can be applied in real work.

- I found it very useful for data preprocessing and creating visualization reports using graphs.

- This book has been a tremendous help in generating reports based on basic analysis and visualizations in data processing tasks.

* I read this book to deepen my knowledge of machine learning while participating in the Google Machine Learning Bootcamp.

- Rather than going into depth, it helped me learn the basics of machine learning and how to use it.

- I have read this book multiple times, and I believe it has provided me with the foundational knowledge necessary for studying other books afterward.

* I purchased this book while conceptualizing intermediary platforms like Kmong or 11st, as I became interested in DB design, transactions, distribution, and clustering.

- I am still in the process of reading it.

- The advantage of this book is that it features genuine recommendations from actual buyers, rather than being written by a review team.

* I purchased this book out of a desire to deepen my learning after taking a course on using window functions and data analysis—specifically user analysis—based on PostgreSQL on Inflearn.

- I am still in the process of reading it.

- I carefully examined the table of contents, content, and reviews before buying this book, and I have been very satisfied with it since receiving it.

* I purchased this book because I had difficulty finding up-to-date books or courses while connecting a cache server with Django.

- Although it's an older book, I found it very useful as most of the types and features are still relevant today.

- While the best resource is the online manual, I appreciated having a book that presents everything at a glance.

- I plan to purchase additional updated books related to Redis in the future.

* I had been using Nginx for a long time and resolved most of my needs through online documentation. However, I purchased this book because I wanted to pursue deeper learning.

- Since then, I have bought other books separately, but I haven't started them yet. I think it's possible that I haven't felt the need to learn because I haven't encountered the additional features I originally intended to explore.

* I purchased this book when I was curious about how to build a service that can handle a million concurrent users.

- It covers a variety of topics and practical techniques, including networking, multiplexing, load balancing, high performance, and zero downtime. Despite being published in 2009, it still provides a lot of information and techniques that are relevant and helpful today.

* This book covers the basics of Docker and Docker Compose, which I currently use for all my tasks.

- It seems that I only utilize about 30% of what I've learned from the book. To use everything effectively, I would need to reach a level where I can manage various services' security and resources, requiring knowledge of design foundations like Kubernetes, monitoring, load balancing, and high availability, along with various information such as the number of concurrent users and server resources.

* This is a book that anyone using Django should definitely read. 

- It is a very helpful book.

- First of all, it teaches a lot of techniques and makes you think deeply.

- There's no need to implement everything; it's important to consider the ideas carefully. Personally, I read about half of it with interest and took the other half very seriously.

* I purchased this book because it seemed to be faithful to the basics of Django.

- However, there were many typos, and the content was not at the level I expected.

- I briefly skimmed through the desired topics and summarized them.
