Django Complete Guide

Go through the entire process of creating a website on Django: from installing and configuring the environment to creating the project locally and deploying it to your hosting.

WHY TO STUDY FRAMEWORKS

When creating a website, you usually need to work with approximately the same set of basic components: user authorization (account creation, login), user panel, uploading and downloading files, etc.

If the tasks are the same, why not streamline them and thereby reduce development costs? That is why frameworks appeared as a set of components designed to facilitate and simplify the creation of websites.

DJANGO – FRAMEWORK #1 IN PYTHON!

Django is the most popular web framework in Python, designed for fast, reliable and secure development of dynamic sites and web applications.

Django is consistently included in the world rankings of the TOP 10 most popular frameworks, regardless of the programming language.

IS IT WORTH STUDYING

In a nutshell, it’s definitely worth it!

Django helps you create modern, functional web applications and websites faster and with less code.

The Django web platform is ideal for building scalable web applications or websites with an ever-growing audience (such as content or news sites).

Having mastered the Django framework, you will be able to create websites of any type and any complexity, since this framework is well suited for developing scalable and high-load projects. You will be able to create simple business card sites or blogs, as well as large online stores and portals.

INDEMAND IN THE MARKET

Developers who speak Python and Django are always in demand, and their wages are one of the highest in the labor market among other web developers.

The demand for specialists with knowledge of Python and Django far exceeds the supply. Companies are ready to take on developers even without experience for internships.

At the same time, they are willing to pay newcomers an average of about 30,000 rubles, while professional salaries start at 100,000 rubles.

WHY FRAMEWORK ON PYTHON

Python is exactly the language you should start learning programming with. If you are just looking at becoming a programmer or web developer, then this is the ideal language for starting and deep dive into the profession.

Python is a cross-platform, high-level general-purpose language, i.e. it can be used for almost any purpose and on any platform.

Python is consistently among the top three to five most popular programming languages.

KILLER FEATURES OF DJANGO

Fast

Django was created precisely to help developers create applications as quickly as possible: from installing and configuring the environment to creating a project locally and running it deployment to hosting.

Secure

Django takes security seriously and helps developers avoid all common mistakes related to security and data protection.

Scalable

Many of the busiest sites on the Internet take advantage of Django's ability to scale quickly and flexibly (see examples below).

FAST AND FLEXIBILITY

Django is a framework, not a CMS. The difference between a framework and a CMS is that a CMS offers a ready-made website, while a framework offers a set of tools for website development. A CMS is limited by the functionality included in it.

In the case of the Django framework, the developer is not limited by anything and creates the necessary functionality himself. At the same time, without overloading the code with unnecessary ones and ensuring the initial amazing lightness and record loading speed

The main advantages of the framework over a ready-made CMS can be described as follows: the speed of the site output and its flexibility!

AMAZING FUNCTIONALITY OF DJANGO

Django can perform many tasks and is used to create:

• CRM - customer relationship management systems;
• CMS - content management systems;
• Communication platforms;
• Web services for booking rooms, tickets, etc.;
• Platforms for document management;
• Email newsletter services;
• Verification systems;
• Filtering systems with dynamically changing rules and advanced parameters;
• For data analysis and complex calculations, machine learning, etc.

LOTS OF READY TOOLS

• Routing
• Ready implementation of the MVC pattern
• Ready-made ORM for working with the database
• Template engine for working with templates
• Security of the site
• Administrator panel “out of the box”

OTHER ADVANTAGES OF DJANGO

DEVELOPED ECOSYSTEM

Django should be thought of as a system. This means that there are many third-party applications that are commonly used with Django.

These applications can be selected depending on the requirements of the project, in a Lego-like manner.

An application built with Django consists of many independent blocks, such as authorization and subscription to the newsletter, which can be easily connected to the system.

ADMINISTRATOR PANEL

The administrator panel is designed to to help manage the created application.

The Django admin panel is generated automatically from Python code when you create the application, whereas manually creating the admin panel will take a long time.

And using third-party applications in the admin panel Django, you can add additional functionality to it, customize it and change it as needed for your project.

GOOD FOR SEO

Python is famous for having human-readable code, which is an advantage if you want your site to rank high in search results.

With Django, you can create human-readable URLs or CNCs using the most relevant keywords and search engine recommendations optimization (SEO).

PLUGIN EXTENSIBLE

Django can be extended with plugins.

Plugins are software modules that allow developers to add certain functionality to the application.

The official catalog has many plugins that will help you add Google maps, connect a payment system, etc.

And if you need to scale your project in the future, you can disable some plugins and replace them with others that will meet the current requirements of your project.

LIBRARIES FOR ANY PURPOSE

The library is added to application to provide more functionality or automate a process without manually writing new code. This reduces development time

The most popular Django libraries include:

Django REST Framework, which simplifies working with the API;

Django CMS is a convenient tool for content management;

Django-allauth - with its help the functions of registration, authorization, and account management are implemented.

WORKING WITH DATABASES

< p>Django is prized for its object-relational mapping (ORM) that helps developers interact with databases. An ORM is a library that automatically transfers data stored in databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL into objects that are used in application code.Django ORM's ability to extract information speeds up the development of web applications and helps create working prototypes in the shortest possible time. Developers don't need to know the language used to interact with the database.

LESS EFFORT, LESS TIME, LESS COST!

You can use Django to run a small , a simple project and continue to use it as it develops to a gigantic size.

At the same time, it is able to ensure consistently high project quality, scalability, functionality and security.

Django as one of the best web development platforms allow you to create complex and high-load web applications that can process high traffic and huge amounts of information. The examples below are proof of this.
