Django Overview
Django is a free, open-source web framework written in the most popular Python programming language and used by millions of programmers every year. Its popularity is due to its friendliness to both beginners and advanced programmer with lots of python libraries and support. Django is secure and robust enough to be used by the largest websites in the internet world like Instagram, Pinterest, Bitbucket, Mozilla, Disqus but also flexible enough to be a good choice for early-stage startups and prototyping personal projects.
Django is a Python based web framework which follows Model-View-Template ( MVT ) architectural pattern for development. Most of the websites need the same basic functionalities like connecting with database and do some CRUD operations, set URL routes, display content on the page, handle security properly and so on. Django helps to create these functionalities without any efforts.
Beside the MVT architectural pattern, Django also uses the concept of project and apps to keep code clean and readable. A single Django project may contain one or more apps within it that all work together to power a web application. For example, a real-world Django e-commerce site might have one app for user authentication, another app for payment, and a third app for listing products and offers. Each focuses on an isolated piece of functionality. These apps can be used in other apps or projects.
Django inherited Python’s “batteries-included” approach and includes out-of-the-box support for common tasks in web development. Batteries-Included approach means having a rich and versatile standard library which is immediately available, without making the user download separate packages.
Throughout this tutorial, we’ll be using best practices from Django, Python and web development communities to stay up-to-date and follow standard rules with the DRY approach. Along with this tutorial, we are also going to use some of the other programming languages like Javascript, AJAX, HTML, Bootstrap and more.
After a great introduction and compliment to Django let’s dive into Django Web Framework to learn and become an expert in Web Industry.
