The separate apps thing is overblown (although that sentiment seems to be shared in these comments). If you're making a monolith web app, you can be safe just chucking it into one django app. If you're concerned about code organization, you can do that in one app with either sub apps or just turning files into packages later. I think this is a more productive strategy for django beginners. If you've identified some clean, generic problem where you want to reuse the code or open source it, make it a separate app. If you have a web site with areas that barely interact with each other, make it into separate apps (a chef's website where the recipes are separate from the cooking classes calendar). If you know what you're doing and feel like separate apps will help with organization, then split them up as well. Otherwise, one is fine.
