Python Django Course Introduction

Pre-requisites for Django

Before learning the Django framework, one must have complete knowledge of Python programming language and OOPs

Django is a free, open-source, and high-level Python web framework that is used for developing maintainable and secure websites. With the help of Django, it becomes easier to build better web applications very quickly and with less code. Django framework provides a structure to the project which is scalable and more distributed in which we specify the models(tables for DB) in a different directory/file, URLs for webpages in a separate file, etc.

Also, Django comes loaded with an Admin panel which can be used to access, create and update data in database tables directly using the Admin panel, which is a very useful feature for a big application.

Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. Built by experienced developers, Django takes care of much of the hassle of web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It is free and open source, has a thriving and active community, great documentation, and many options for free and paid-for support.

• Django framework also provides a lightweight and standalone web server for development and testing
• Basically, it is a complete stack of tools required for web development.
