Django Web Framework (Python)

What this module covers

The module opens with the case for Django: why it is widely used as a fully featured server-side framework and what it gives you out of the box. It then moves to preparing a development environment and creating your first web application, so the early steps are practical rather than theoretical.

Who should read it

It suits readers who are comfortable with Python and want a grounded start with Django. As a first step it sets up the groundwork for a longer project course without assuming you have built web apps before.

Takeaways

• A clear picture of where Django fits among server-side web frameworks.
• A working development setup in place before any application code is written.
