Description
As per discussions with Carlton on Twitter and in person at DjangoCon, there's benefit in adding a step to the tutorial that covers the following:
- An overview of the Django Debug Toolbar.
- Where to look for help on packages and/or building application.
- Highlight Django REST framework.
- Highlight djangopackages.com and grids for APIs and development tools.
- Evaluating third party packages via Adam Johnson's post
Let me know if there's something else I should include. I'll have a PR with a first draft up shortly.

Link to PR.
That's a fair point. The purpose here is to help beginners understand how to go about adding additional libraries into their project. This tutorial and the Django Girls tutorial are the two places that most absolute beginners are linked to. If there's a better way we can structure things, but still achieve that purpose I'm happy to do the leg work.

Let's advance it. I think we can ask Danielle if he has capacity on the PR to assist. (I can try to make the case that it's a tutorial about using third-party apps, for which selection and assessment is a vital part, and then we can see what he says 😜)

Thanks for this ticket, however, as far as I'm aware, none of them fit the tutorial definition according to the Diátaxis framework. They are rather How-to's and Topics.
