Django is a high-level, open-source web framework for building robust and scalable web applications using the Python programming language. Django comes equipped with a rich set of built-in features, including an object-relational mapping (ORM) system for database interactions, a powerful templating engine, and a secure authentication system. You will start this course by diving into Django and learning the model-template-view (MTV) architecture that Django uses. Next, you will install Django and create a basic app, seeking the help of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Bard to set up a Django project and explore its basic functionality. Then, you will create your own app within the project, focusing on the uses for and responsibilities of the automatically generated files. Finally, you will build a simple web app using Django, starting with a basic view that renders HTML templates that you can access at a URL path. You will learn to include static assets, such as stylesheets and images, and you will deal with misdirection from generative AI tools.
