Django
Django is an open-source Python web framework providing integrated components for developing structured, database-backed web applications and services.
Django in Action
Django is an open-source Python web framework for building web applications and managing web content.
- How it is used
- Builds dynamic Python web applications whose URLs invoke views that render browser responses.
- How deep it goes
- Explains request flow, project structure, URL registration, views, ORM, templates, and built-in multiuser tools through implementation steps.
- Examples
- Uses the RiffMates musicians-seeking-musicians site to add pages, database content, administration, accounts, uploads, and extensions.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch as a project with apps, URL mappings, views, responses, templates, and database-backed pages.
Python Concurrency with asyncio
Django is a batteries-included Python web application framework that provides components for building database-backed web sites and services.
- How it is used
- Builds database-backed web applications and services, including applications that call external APIs asynchronously.
- How deep it goes
- Explains project setup, routing, deployment, and asynchronous views, but stops short of an asynchronous ORM.
- Examples
- Demonstrates a Django project, an async API application, concurrent external requests, and an HTML request-summary page.
- What you can do after
- Builds a Django asynchronous view that aggregates concurrent HTTP results and deploys through ASGI or WSGI.
