Django - Learn to Build EMS Web Application with Django

Django is a high-level Python web framework that enables rapid development with orm, url routing, templating, and form handling, plus a development server for testing.

Create a Django project inside a virtual environment, install Django, and start EMS_site to generate files like manage.py, settings.py, urls.py, and run the server at port 8000.

Define apps as components of a Django project and build an EMS app to manage employees data, wiring it into the project and exploring models, views, and admin.

Django's mvc-inspired architecture maps to models, views, and templates, and learn how requests flow from URL routing to database queries and final rendering.

Define employee and job models in a Django 4 EMS project, with first and last name, email, phone, address, gender choices, birth date, joining date, and many-to-many link to jobs.
