We're sorry!

We made a mistake in processing the videos from DjangoCon US 2024. The sponsor acknowledgements are missing our wonderful sponsor, the Wharton School. We deeply regret this and are working to re-upload videos with our correct sponsor acknowledgements.

All videos have been marked as unlisted and will be removed in the future. We expect the new, permanent videos to be uploaded in two weeks.

About this session

Why Django Ledger?
In the world of money apps, it's not just about transactions; it's about understanding how each financial decision ripples out. It's like dropping a pebble in a pond and watching the waves spread. Every dollar spent or saved can have a bigger effect than you realize. Django Ledger looks at both sides of the money picture because it is a double entry accounting system. This capability makes sure the insights aren't just whole, but you can act on them right away. It's like having a financial monitor that helps you see the bigger picture to take the right steps forward.

I'm a developer, why should I care?.
Developers aren't accountants, and accountants aren't exactly tech savvy. It feels like they're worlds apart. But what if we could bring them together? Imagine the power of combining the skills and knowledge of both sides to create something truly amazing and innovative.

By using Django Ledger's capabilities to implement transaction blueprints, developers can easily work their magic on their projects. It's like having a toolbox filled with all the right tools to make your coding journey smoother and more efficient.

I'm an accountant or business owner, why should I care?
For accountants and business owners, it's a game-changer. Adding Django Ledger to the stack means getting instant financial stats and insights whenever you need them. It's like having a financial advisor at your fingertips, ready to give you the guidance you need to make smart decisions.

Best of Both Worlds

Django Ledger makes it smooth for developers to blend financial stuff into their projects, while giving accountants and business owners real-time financial statements. It is like a bridge that connects these two worlds, making collaboration and understanding easier between them. It's like breaking down barriers and creating new possibilities for innovation and growth in the tech and finance world.
