The biggest hurdle I faced while making this project was wrapping my head around the data structure that I had in my head and being able to apply that to Django. The biggest lesson that I learned is that documentation is the greatest resource when building a project like this. I was able to achieve more that I thought possible because I took the time to familiarize myself with the documentation. The second biggest hurdle I ran into in this project was the logic of the front-end form. Every time I thought I had it the way I wanted, a new bug would pop up. It taught me a valuable lesson about thinking things through and planning moves out before diving into the code. Overall this has been a great project, and and invaluable learning experience.
