I am from Belgium and have been involved in open-source at different levels for about 20 years. I am a member of the Django Steering Council for the 6.x cycle.
One of the things I enjoy the most is sharing knowledge with others. And this is why I enjoy writing tutorials as well as giving talks and workshops.

Django's built-in admin is powerful, but it's essentially a separate framework within Django and it's 20 years old.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to work with an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic views, plugins, and view factories? This is the idea I explored: a proof-of-concept Django admin replacement, powered by pluggy and generic views, where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.
Let's explore together the concepts and ideas behind it.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to work with an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic views, plugins, and view factories? This is the idea behind Django-Admin-Deux: a proof-of-concept Django admin replacement where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.
This workshop will explore the concepts behind Django-Admin-Deux in details and we will build together:
- an application that uses it
- a custom plugin
