Video description

Django is an amazing framework for web developers because it provides the infrastructure required for database-driven websites that have user authentication, content administration, contact forms, file uploads, and more.

In this course, we will be using Django 3 to build 3 stunning websites. This will help you learn Django and implement it in your projects. We will also use Python, so if you have never used it before, we will start with a Python refresher to get you up to speed.

We will then dive into making three complete websites:

1) Password Generator: A simple website to create a random password with several options

2) Personal Portfolio: Create your own portfolio to show to potential employers showing off your resume, previous projects, and a fully functional blog

3) Todo Woo: A website where a user can sign up for an account, and fully manage a Todo list with the ability to create, edit, and delete

We will also walk through Git, which is an awesome tool for developers that allows creating multiple versions of the code. Additionally, we will learn how to publish our projects live.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to use Django to create your own websites and deploy them on a server.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand Django basics such as function base views, URL routing, and models
  • Create a random password generating website
  • Create your own personal portfolio site
  • Create a fully functional Todo list manager website where users can login
  • Work with static and media files, and forms
  • Publish your website online with PythonAnywhere

Audience

This course is for anyone who wants to work with Python, especially for web applications or web design, and wants to learn the Django framework. Some Python knowledge is helpful but not required. We have a section at the beginning of the course called The Python Refresher to get you up to speed in no time.
