Description

In this course you'll learn how to build simple websites with Django and Python!

Django overwhelms a lot of people, and it doesn't have to! If you understand just a few basic concepts, you'll see that Django is a breeze to use!

In this course I'll be developing on a Windows machine, but you should be able to follow along if you're on a Mac or Linux.  I'll show you how to download and install Python and Django, and create a basic website. 

We won't be doing ANY database work in this course.  I feel like databases confuse a lot of newbies, so instead of getting bogged down in all of that, we're just going to skip it and focus on building basic static websites.  

You'll be able to build simple personal websites, or simple business websites when you're finished with this course.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS COURSE?

You don't need any tools or special skills to take this course. I'll show you how to download and install everything you'll need for free (Django, Python, and the Sublime Text Editor). 

Other than that, you'll just need a computer with Internet Access!

DO I NEED TO KNOW PYTHON TO TAKE THIS COURSE?

No!  Django is built for Python. It's a web framework for Python. So it's a good idea to learn Python if you want to use Django. But you don't have to know Python to take this course. I'll walk you through everything you need to know.

Building websites with Django is a ton of fun, and learning has never been this easy. 

I'll see you on the inside!
