Django Project Setup Support Package

Overview

The purpose of this package is to help people get started quickly on a new Django project based on my own most common starting requirements:

1. Targeted for Single-Page Applications with a React Frontend in mind.
2. For use with the Django REST API Framework.
3. Basic User Accounts support.

Much of the basic template codes for the above functionality are derived and distilled from the YouTube course content generously made available by Coding For Entrepreneurs.
