Django is the most popular and most mature Python web development framework around. It makes it easy to build better Web apps more quickly and with less code. In this course, Django: Getting Started, you will learn how to build your first web application with Django. First, you will learn how to create a simple page showing a short text message. Next, you will discover how to create an HTML page using a Django template. Then, you will touch on how to create a database model so we can store and retrieve our data, and of course we’ll see how to show that data on our pages. Finally, you will explore adding CSS styling to your site and how to use forms to enable a user to interact with our site. After finishing the course, you will have a good overview of all the essential parts of Django and how they work together, so that you can go on and build your own websites in Django.
