Django is Python's most widely used web framework — batteries included, convention over configuration, and production-ready out of the box. This training takes participants from their first Django project through models, the admin interface, views, templates, and forms, giving them everything they need to build complete, database-backed web applications.

Who is this training for?

Python developers and software engineers who want to build web applications with Django. Basic Python knowledge is assumed; no prior web development experience is required.
