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.

Collecting and Displaying Data from the Database

In the previous chapters, movie information was gathered using dummy data implemented within a Python list. While this approach served as a good initial attempt to display movie information, it doesn’t scale well. If we want to add a new movie or edit an existing one, we will need to modify our Python code. This chapter focuses on the process of refactoring both the movies and individual movie pages to retrieve and present information directly from the database. With this approach, if we need to add new movies or modify existing ones, we can simply access the admin panel without the need to modify the Python code. Additionally, we will implement a new movie search functionality.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Removing the movies’ dummy data
  • Updating the movie listings page
  • Updating the listing of an individual movie page
  • Implementing a search movie functionality
