Part 1 Django essentials

The first part of the book is all about getting you going with Django, giving you the tools you need to write a website. You’ll learn how coding with a framework is different from writing against a library, how to create a Django project, how to use the Django Template Engine to compose and re-use HTML, how to interact with databases using Django’s object relational mapping (ORM), and how to take advantage of the built-in Django Admin tool. When you’re finished with this part of the book, you’ll have written the first part of the RiffMates project and have enough knowledge to write Django-based websites.
