Projects vs apps
What’s the difference between a project and an app? An app is a web application that does something – e.g., a blog system, a database of public records or a small poll app. A project is a collection of configuration and apps for a particular website. A project can contain multiple apps. An app can be in multiple projects.
When to use include()
You should always use include() when you include other URL patterns. admin.site.urls is the only exception to this.
