Django Web Framework

What you build

This Coursera course focuses on building a web app with Django from start to finish. It gives as much weight to administering and securing the server as to writing views. The description highlights models and their link to databases, views that render data into templates, and the security practices needed to keep the app safe.

Skills it leans on

The listed skills include MySQL, HTML, server-side development and data modelling, so the course is as much about how data is structured as about the framework itself. The description does not name Python explicitly, so check the prerequisites on the course page.

Who it suits

• Learners who want a structured course covering Django's admin and security side as well as its views.
• Developers who have built a small site and want a more disciplined approach to the next one.
