Designing a database for your Discord & Django community bot
Today I'm starting a new project to handle a discord community. It's going to use Python, Django and then later on discord.
In this episode we look at the database design, and I show how my thinking goes before I've even cut a line of code, in particular, a third normal form database diagram, and then straight into the models.py file to code out those models. Whilst the Django tutorial is excellent, it doesn't help you learn how to design and architect, and thats really what I want to focus on here.
Python is a wonderful language to code in, because its very clear which makes it maintainable. On top of that, Django is an excellent framework, allowing both rapid development, but also with low technical debt when it comes to filling out a production ready application.
Watch to the end to get the link to my new discord server!
