Django tutorials
5 articlesHand-written tutorials, ordered as a recommended learning path.
- 01 What Is Django? A practical introduction to Django — its newsroom origins, the batteries it ships with (ORM, admin, auth, templates), and when to pick it over FastAPI or Flask.
- 02 Install & First Project A hands-on Django setup guide — virtual environments, pip install django, startproject, runserver, and creating your first app. Get to a working dev server in ten minutes.
- 03 Models & ORM A practical tour of Django's ORM — defining models, common field types, makemigrations and migrate, QuerySet filtering, foreign keys, and simple aggregations.
- 04 Views & Templates Wire Django models to web pages — function-based views, render(), URL routing with path(), template tags like {% for %} and {% if %}, and template inheritance with {% extends %}.
- 05 Django Admin Use the Django admin to get a free CRUD interface for every model — createsuperuser, register models, customise list_display and search_fields, and add inline admins.
