Django Tutorial

Django is a free web framework written in Python. It helps you build secure, database-driven websites quickly and with less code.

Instagram, Pinterest, Mozilla and many startups have used Django. Its motto is "the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines".

Why Learn Django?

• You write everything in Python, a beginner-friendly language
• It comes "batteries included": login system, admin panel, database tools and security features are built in
• The free admin panel lets you manage your data without writing extra pages
• It protects you from common attacks like SQL injection, XSS and CSRF by default
• Python and Django skills are in demand for web and AI-related jobs

What You Will Learn

• Installing Django and creating a project
• Apps, views and URL patterns
• Templates for HTML pages
• Models, migrations and the admin panel
• Reading and filtering data with querysets
• Forms and validation
• CSS, JavaScript and images as static files

A First Example

A Django view is a Python function that returns a response:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def home(request):
    return HttpResponse("Assalam-o-Alaikum! This page is made with Django.")

Assalam-o-Alaikum! This page is made with Django.

Exercises and Quiz

Every lesson ends with an exercise, and the final lesson is a quiz.

Before and After Django

Learn Python first, plus basic HTML and CSS. After Django, study SQL to understand databases better, and Git to manage and deploy your code. You can compare Django with PHP and ASP.NET.
