I think the basic tutorial ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/) talks about apps:
Projects vs. apps What's the difference between a project and an app? An app is a Web application that does something -- e.g., a Weblog system, a database of public records or a simple poll app. A project is a collection of configuration and apps for a particular Web site. A project can contain multiple apps. An app can be in multiple projects. --AJ On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 12:15 AM, raj <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm sort of confused with the django app system. > I own a free hosting, by alwaysdata.net (just to learn the django > stuff), and it says that I can make an app using the following line: > python mysite/manage.py startapp [appname] > > When reading the django book (at the djangobook.com), it never talks > about app's really.
