Django and Python can seem overwhelming at first, but they don't have to be! In this course I’ll walk you through it step by step and you’ll be building your first web app in MINUTES. You’ll be amazed how quick and easy it is to create very professional looking websites, even if you have no programming or web design experience at all.
Watch over my shoulder as I build a cool Air Quality Weather app step by step right in front of you. You’ll follow along and build your own copy. By the time we’re finished, you’ll have a solid understanding of Django and how to use it to build awesome web apps.
The course contains 28 videos – and is just over 2 hours long. Watch the videos at your own pace, and post questions along the way if you get stuck. You don’t need any special knowledge or software to take this course, though any experience with HTML or CSS is a plus. You don’t even need to know the Python programming language. I’ll walk you through EVERYTHING.
Django is a great web development tool and learning it has never been this easy.
What We'll Build...
We'll build a cool Air Quality Weather app that let's you connect to a third party API to collect Air Quality information about your area!
We'll style the website using the popular Bootstrap CSS framework (I'll show you how to use it!)
