7-Hour Python Django Course

In this tutorial, we will be covering a 7-hour course on Python Django. Django is a high-level web framework written in Python that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It is widely used for building web applications and offers a lot of built-in features to make development easy and efficient.

Hour 1: Introduction to Django

In the first hour of the course, we will be introducing Django and covering the basics of setting up a Django project. We will install Django using pip and create a new project using the django-admin command. We will also cover the basic project structure and explain the different components of a Django project.

Hour 2: Setting up the Database and Models

In the second hour, we will be setting up the database for our Django project and creating models to represent our data. We will be using Django’s built-in ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) to define our models and create database tables. We will also cover how to run migrations to create and update the database schema based on our models.

Hour 3: Views and Templates

In the third hour, we will be covering views and templates in Django. Views are Python functions that take a web request and return a web response, while templates are HTML files that define the structure of our web pages. We will create views to handle different URLs in our project and use templates to render the HTML content dynamically.

Hour 4: URL Configuration and Routing

In the fourth hour, we will cover URL configuration and routing in Django. We will create a URLconf file to define the URL patterns for our project and map them to the appropriate views. We will also cover how to include other URLconf files and handle URL patterns with parameters.

Hour 5: Forms and Form Handling

In the fifth hour, we will cover forms and form handling in Django. We will create HTML forms using Django’s built-in Form class and handle form submissions using Django’s form processing features. We will also cover how to validate form data and display form errors to the user.

Hour 6: User Authentication and Permissions

In the sixth hour, we will cover user authentication and permissions in Django. We will use Django’s built-in authentication system to register users, log them in, and manage user sessions. We will also cover how to restrict access to certain views based on user permissions.

Hour 7: Advanced Topics and Best Practices

In the final hour of the course, we will cover some advanced topics and best practices in Django development. We will cover topics such as middleware, decorators, signals, and custom template tags. We will also cover some best practices for Django development, such as using class-based views, organizing project files, and optimizing performance.

By the end of this 7-hour course, you should have a solid understanding of Django and be able to build web applications using this powerful framework. Django is a versatile tool that can be used for a wide range of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. I hope you find this tutorial helpful and enjoy learning Django!
