Django Unleashed

What This Book Contains

This book is a hands-on, single example: we build and deploy a fully functional website over the course of the 30 chapters. Each chapter covers a single part of Django and is the logical next step to building our website while learning how to use Django.

Part I, Django’s Core Features, is an introduction to websites, web frameworks, and Django. We assume knowledge of programming and Python, but absolutely no knowledge of the internals of back-end web programming. In these first 12 chapters, we use the core parts of Django—the parts used in (almost) every website—to create the basics of our website. This includes interacting with a database, sending HTML to visitors, and accepting user input in a safe manner.
