Steps taken

1. Modeling the database. I first designed and modelled the database, i.e., Identifying and noting down the required tables and required fields. I there after normalized the database.
2. Decided on framework to use: I there after went into the second phase of choosing the best framework to use for my work. In which I chased Django due to its features such as security, speed and scalability.
3. Started Implementing the app by creating a portfolio app.

• I installed python and pip, I later used pip to install virtualenv.
• Created a virtual environment for my app

virtualenv env

• Activated the environment

source env/bin/activate

• For Windows:

.\env\Scripts\activate

• Installed django in the environment pip install django and started project portfolio django-admin startproject portfolio . then python manage.py migrate. thereafter I started working on my web application.
