Django

Welcome to the Django Course!

Ever tried to assemble an IKEA wardrobe and ended up with leftover screws and a missing shelf? Well, good news: with Django, it’s much easier (though I can’t promise there won’t be the occasional ‘What does this error mean?!’ moment). In this course, we’ll walk you through building your very own personal blog using the Django web framework, and unlike that IKEA wardrobe, all the pieces will fit!

What will we do?

  • User authentication (so you can keep out the riffraff).
  • Post creation and editing (because you’re in charge here).
  • A commenting system (complete with moderation—you’re the boss, after all).
  • Categories and tags (for organizing your genius thoughts).
  • And so much more!

What you’ll learn:

  • How to set up a Django project using a virtual environment (no magical wands, just command lines).
  • The Model-View-Template (MVT) pattern Django uses (sounds fancy, but don’t worry, we’ll make it easy).
  • How to manage databases, forms, and user authentication (so you’ll feel like a real developer).
  • How to build and deploy a fully functional blog (so you can brag to your friends, obviously).

Whether you’re new to Django or just brushing up on your skills, this course will give you a solid foundation to create web applications, all while keeping things light and fun—because learning to code shouldn’t feel like eating dry toast.
