BKReview (a Django book review website)

My First Coding Project

This website was my first coding project. I unfortunately didn't use GitHub at the time, so the code is lost — though the demo video remains!

The site was built using Django and a dynamic SQL-based backend, allowing users to:

• Add new books to the website
• Register with a username and password
• Submit book reviews
• See top-rated books featured on the homepage

I was especially proud of the dynamic features — the fact that other users could interact with your uploaded content and boost it through ratings felt exciting and collaborative.

What I Learned

This project helped me:

• Understand Django's structure
• Write and optimize SQL queries
• Get an understanding for UI choices and html/CSS/bootstrap
• Handle user authentication
