What You Will Learn?
- Welcome to Django 201: Intermediate Django Development. .
- In this class we're going to be building a large social-network style web application together called Today I Learned, and the premise is to share what you've learned in small bit-sized pieces, much like Twitter. .
- Unlike Django 101 where we created an Instagram-like clone, Django 201 is about a Twitter-like clone..
- We'll be starting at the very beginning with virtual environment, starting a new django project, and creating a new app inside of it. Then we'll be extending the default User to have a Profile where we can add extra account details and upload an image. .
- We're also tackling Django Authentication in this class. Yes, you'll be able to let users sign up, login, and logout..
- We'll be using include tags, 3rd party packages, exploring 3rd party packages, and creating new posts on the fly. .
- But most importantly we'll be mixing JavaScript and Django so people can dynamically create new posts without ever leaving the homepage. .
- —.
- I have purposely left some bugs in the code for you to work on in your final project. This is AMAZING real-life experience because a lot of companies will give you code to work on as a "task" in your interview process, and you'll need to be able to pick it up and run with it. This class will prepare you for that. .
