Thanks for sharing this amazing introduction. Just wanna let you know there might be a typo in graph_models.md.
python manage.py graph_models -e -g -l dot -o core.png core # olny app core
I assume you mean "only" not "olny" ?
Anyways, no biggie, thank you so much for sharing this :)

Thanks @iitsmel
