Tracking User Actions

In the previous chapter, you implemented AJAX views into your project using jQuery and built a JavaScript bookmarklet to share content from other websites on your platform.

In this chapter, you will learn how to build a follow system and create a user activity stream. You will also discover how Django signals work and integrate Redis's fast I/O storage into your project to store item views.

This chapter will cover the following points:

  • Building a follow system
  • Creating many-to-many relationships with an intermediary model
  • Creating an activity stream application
  • Adding generic relations to models
  • Optimizing QuerySets for related objects
  • Using signals for denormalizing counts
  • Storing item views in Redis
