The course teaching approach is learn-by-doing. You will learn to build two different apps: a modern Bootstrap blog website with a complete blog author interface and a dynamic Google Translate-like translator web app. The two apps have been chosen carefully to cover all core Django features. The apps are also extendible, allowing you to improve and add features to the apps while sharpening your Django skills and building your own GitHub portfolio.
Among other topics, you will learn the model-view-template app structure of Django. You will also learn to set up SQL databases and connect the database with your app. You will learn to build complete web pages equipped with HTML widgets and create HTML forms that handle GET and POST HTTP requests. In addition, you will learn how to create and manage URL patterns for your app pages. You will also learn how to build an admin interface, which is useful when building content websites such as blogs, where content creators and other admins can use the admin interface to add content to the website without interfering with the codebase.
You will also get an introduction to HTML and learn to create front-end widgets such as input boxes, buttons, and HTML forms. You will learn to give your web app a modern look by adding Bootstrap styling to your website.
By the end of the course, you will have all the skills to build your own web apps using Django, and you will know where to look whenever you need to add new Django features to your apps.
