Overview of this book

Learning Django can be a challenging and time-consuming activity without the right guidance. With hundreds of tutorials, loads of documentation, and unclear explanations out there, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s most important. This book stands out by teaching you how to use Django in just a few days with a focused approach. In this second edition, you’ll go on a fun, practical, and pragmatic journey to learning full-stack development with Django 5. You’ll start building your first Django app within minutes. As you progress, you’ll learn from concise explanations that will help you get to grips with some of the most important Django features, including URLs, views, templates, models, CSS inclusion, image storage, Django admin panel, and more. You’ll also understand how to design Django MVT (Model-View-Template) architectures and implement them. Additionally, you’ll use Django to develop a movie store application and deploy it to the internet. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy your own Django web applications confidently.

Creating an about page

Now that we learned how to create a simple page, let’s repeat the process to create the about page. We will follow these three steps:

  1. Configure the about URL.
  2. Define the about function.
  3. Create the about template.

Let’s start.

Configuring the about URL

In /home/urls.py, add the following path in bold:

from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='home.index'),
    path('about', views.about, name='home.about'),
]

So, if a URL matches the /about path, it will execute the about function defined in the views file.

Defining about function

In /home/views.py, add the following in bold:

from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
    return render(request, 'home/index.html')
def about(request):
    return render(request, ...
