In this episode, I returned to the onboarding flow and start to polish some of the extra pages. We filled the pages with special copy and a call to action to each page to help customers be successful. I started with the pages that displays the school years. We added a chunk of template from the onboarding process that asks the user to create a school year. I modified the template chunk to make it fit in the context of the page.

In this episode, I worked on feedback from my primary customer. We fixed a couple of issues that she reported, then moved on to more of the onboarding flow. Before getting to the code, we chatted about ways to learn to code. I linked to a popular book, Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, and some good web tutorials for learning Django. The first bit of customer feedback that I worked on was to add a back link from a course details to get a user back to the grade level that holds the course.

How can you set up Tailwind CSS for your Django app on Heroku? In this article, we’ll see how I did exactly that recently. I have a side project that uses Tailwind CSS. To get started quickly, I used the version from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) as Tailwind describes in the documentation. This worked fine initially while I got my project started, but the CDN version is huge (around 3MB).

In this episode, I completed the last form that completes the last step on my Django app’s onboarding process. We built up the view, wrote the tests, and worked through the templates changes. I started with a discussion of what the onboarding flow does and what was left. I needed to make a form that creates a task for a course. For the first chunk of code, we added some tests to cover all the scenarios that are important for the view.
