Functional overview

In previous chapters, diagrams at the start represented views, templates, and end-to-end functionalities. This chapter, however, shifts the focus to implementing model inheritance and creating custom model fields, topics not easily captured in our usual diagrams. Instead, you will see specific diagrams to illustrate these concepts throughout the chapter.

The source code for this chapter can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Django-5-by-example/tree/main/Chapter12.
