Description

Come join me as we create our first scalable Django application ... in only 3 hours!


Django is used by some of the largest websites on the internet, including Instagram, Pinterest, and Disqus— serving multiple
billion
page views
, and
unique visitors
a month on Django stacks.


I've loved working with Django these last couple years and would now like to help you join the club by walking you through the official tutorial!


What this course is not:


I do not cover programming fundamentals or python syntax. You do not need to be an expert by any means but you should be comfortable with the basics of at least one programming
language so that we can focus on Django and not programming in general. (You can take this course if you're new to programming but expect to look up some of the basics on your own as this will not be covered.)


I may not be able to look at your code and tell you what's wrong. I will if I can, but keep in mind that I may not be able to spend too much time debugging your code.


If you're looking for advanced topics, you may want to download the source code of this course first and see if you could produce it on your own.


But, if you want to add Django to your tool belt - remember it's used on some of the busiest sites on the net - and you haven't yet taken the official tutorial, you need to download this course this minute.


Stop DELAYING and try Django!
Who this course is for:
Anyone who would like to go over the official Django tutorial with helpful suggestions
Entrepreneurs who would like to quickly learn how to setup a website in an environment that can scale (it's great for MVP's)
Coders with PHP / Ruby or other web experience who would like to try Django
Self-starters who don't have much programming experience but want to give it a try (with some free help)
*NOT FOR YOU IF*: you've already completed the official tutorial (you'll find this repetitive)
*NOT FOR YOU IF*: you run a non-Mac computer AND don't know how to open the command line on your system or install Python or MySQL without visual help. (I can take you to the download page but you won't be able to watch me perform the installation on my system as I only have my Mac.)
