Overview of this book

<p>Django is a powerful Python web framework designed for rapid web application development. With the advent of frameworks such as Django, web developers have been forced to adopt MVC architectures and are encouraged to develop quality code. This quality allows several developers to work together easily and reduces the number of bugs due to human errors.</p> <p>Beginning with the basics of the Web and Django, the book explains the MVC pattern. It then moves on to explain the step-by-step installation of Python, PIP, and Django on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Furthermore, you will learn how to create templates, models, forms, and so on. After reading the book, you will be able to quickly create dynamic web applications with AJAX and an admin part.</p> <p>This book features a step-by-step approach that shows you how to program, create, and improve the quality of web applications using Django, with the help of Python.</p>

Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to create a template and send data to the templates, and how to use the conditions, loops, and filters in the templates. We also discussed how to create DRY URLs for a flexible URL structure, expand the templates to meet the DRY philosophy, and how to use the static files.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to structure our data to save it in a database.
