Overview

This course introduces Django, Python's leading web framework, as a practical entry point for building internet-connected applications. Rather than treating Python and Django as separate topics, it frames Django as the natural next step for anyone who already appreciates Python's scalability and open-source ecosystem.

Who it's for

Developers with some Python familiarity who want to move from scripting into web development, and anyone curious why major platforms rely on Django to handle data securely and reliably.

Key takeaways

Why Python's scalability and open-source model make it suited to web backends
What Django is and the role it plays as a web framework
How Django handles data storage and reliability for a web application
A starting point for building your own Django-backed projects

It's a broad, motivational overview rather than a deep technical reference — useful for deciding whether Django deserves a place in your toolkit before committing to a longer course.

About this course

Python is one of the best programming languages in the planet. Why? For a few reasons:

It's proven & scalable
It's open-source
The Internet of Things and Raspberry Pi
It's leading the change for future technology

Proven & Scalable: Python runs Instagram's backend. It also run's Pinterest's, NASA, Mozilla, and countless others. It scales.

Open-Source: Open source technology means **anyone** can change it. Literally anyone. Are you in New Zealand? Yup you can change the code. Are you in Argentina? Yup, go ahead change it. Open-source changes the game for everyone because we can all use it.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Raspberry PI Connected devices are coming in waves. The easiest way to connect to these devices is using the Raspberry Pi and writing code in Python. Python is versatile so it makes controlling real-world objects with Raspberry Pi simple.

Pushing the Bounds of Future Technology Python is leading the charge in artificial intelligence with things like OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyBrain, and many others.

Sooo... Python is cool but why is this called Try Django? What's Django?

***

Django will be the backbone for your projects.

***

If you work with Python, the chances are good you need internet-connected data that stored securely and is reliable. This is where Django comes in. Django is a web-framework that can handle all of your data and handle it better than any web framework out there.

Django is the #1 Web Framework for Python for a reason: it's easy enough for the beginners and yet powerful enough for the pros. Instagram uses Python by way of Django. So does Pinterest. And Nasa. And Mozilla. It may not be the only technology that they use but its... the backbone of them all.

If Python is the future behind underlying technology, Django will be it's close cousin and if you love Python, Django will soon become your friend.

Cheers!
