The ninth project in the Treehouse Python tech degree

Improve a Django Project

This is the ninth project in Treehouse Python tech degree.

Description

We spent a weekend doing a hackathon a year or so ago and someone built this project. It's...not the best. It runs kind of slow and has been a real pain to debug and add onto. We need you to go through the project, find where it's inefficient, and fix it. Check the templates for bad inheritance and extra database calls. Check the views for extra views or extra database calls. Check the models to make sure they're using the best fields. Check the forms for proper validation and fields. Basically just check the whole thing over. Oh, and it doesn't have any tests, so please get test coverage up to at least 75%.

Extra Credit

• Increase test coverage to 90% or above.
• Decrease combined query time on all views to 60ms or less.
• Add migrations to correct existing data when data types change.
• Add custom form validators
