Django for Everyone

Django is a Python web framework that encourages fast development and a clean, pragmatic design.

Over the four practical courses offered on this program, you’ll learn HTML, CSS, SQL, Django, JavaScript, jQuery, and JSON Web Services, as well as other features of Django, such as Django Template Language (DTL), form flow, basic structured query language (SQL), as well as the object oriented (OO) pattern present within the wider Python programming language.

Gain the programming experience you need to build a functional website

Considered a great first step in any web development curriculum, the overall aim of this program is to get you to be able to build a full-featured and functional website on its completion.

Throughout each individual course, you’ll be building online websites, and will be graded on their success. You’ll also be given tips and guidance throughout on how to improve your programming skills.

The series of courses themselves are also excellent preparation for learning other ways in which to build web applications, using programming technologies such as PHP, Flask or Ruby on Rails (written in the Ruby programming language).
