Description

We believe that with only a small subset of Python knowledge you can start to develop web applications using the Django Framework. Many new developers starting to explore the Django Framework will typically not have any Python experience, this course aims to help you understand the basic Python knowledge needed to start developing Django applications. Even if you simply wanted to learn more about Python, applying Python in a web context using the Django Framework can be a fun way of learning Python.This course is primarily designed for anyone who would like to get started using the Django Framework to develop applications but does not have prior Python programming knowledge. In this course, you will learn the basics of the Python programming language and apply this new knowledge in the context of the Django Framework. By the end of this course, you will be familiar with the underpinning knowledge and skills needed to further your understanding of Python or the Django Framework. This course is designed for beginners of both Python and the Django Framework, no prior knowledge is needed. I hope you enjoy the course and fulfil your learning objective.
