Curriculum

Introduction

This introductory section sets the stage for the course. The 'Introduction' lectures provide a foundational overview of Django and its capabilities, setting expectations and outlining the course's structure and what you will learn. This section provides the necessary context for the following projects.

Project: Static Website

This section focuses on building a static website. You will learn about setting up your development environment using `virtualenv`, creating your first 'Hello World' app, understanding Django views for handling requests, and effectively using templates to separate presentation logic from business logic. Lectures include detailed explanations of each step and provide valuable insights into how these core components work together in a functional web application.

Project: Blog

This section guides you through the creation of a fully functional blog. You'll learn to set up a new environment and database specifically for this project. The course covers the use of Django's admin interface for efficient management, implementing list and detail views to interact with database information, and styling the blog with CSS. Step-by-step instructions, along with lecture notes, will help you manage every detail of creating a dynamic blog.

Blog Project: User Authentication

This final section enhances the blog project by implementing user authentication. You will learn how to enable user login, signup, password change, and password reset functionalities using Django's built-in features. The course shows you how to allow users to create their own blog posts and manage their content. Detailed instructions and lecture notes will help you master these essential aspects of web application security and user experience.
