Course Description
Have you ever wanted to create a Web application but didn't know where to start? Have you previously tried to learn Django but got fed up with incomplete YouTube videos and poorly written tutorials? Or are you looking to move your code from Django 1 to Django 2?
THEN THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!
In my Django course, I will walk you through the Django web framework from beginning to end! I'm a self-taught programmer so I know what it feels like to start from scratch. I care about your learning, but even more importantly... I care about you!
What is Django?
Django is an open-source web framework that is written in Python. It was created about twelve years ago, but in April 2019 Django 2.2 was released with a whole new set of features and capabilities!
Django is an amazing framework for web developers because it provides the infrastructure required for database-driven websites that have user authentication, content administration, contact forms, file uploads, and more. Instead of creating all of these features from scratch, you can use the Django framework and utilize these components that are already built, and focus your time on developing your web app instead.
If you're going to be working with Python, especially for web applications or web design, you'll want to learn the Django framework. It will save you a ton of time!
Contents and Overview
I believe we learn best by doing. So, throughout this course you'll be presented with coding quizzes and challenges in order for you to test what you just learned. This format will allow you to actually learn Django and not just follow along like a robot ;)
We will use Python in this course, so if you have never used Python before, we will start with a python refresher to get you up to speed (no other python experience required).
We will then dive into making three complete websites:
1 - Word-Counting Website: A simple website to count the most frequently used words in a piece of text. You will learn how to:
Install Django
Create a new project
Work with Django's URL routing
Submit and handle HTML form data
2 - Personal Portfolio: Create your own portfolio to show to potential employers showing off your resume, previous projects, and a fully functional blog. You will learn how to:
Add apps to your project
Work with databases including SQLite and Postgres
Access the admin panel
Create super users
Create virtual environments
Make a responsive website with Bootstrap 4
Work with static and media files
3 - Product Hunt Clone: Make a simplified version of the awesome website to share new tech products. You will learn how to:
Work with the authentication system (sign up, login, logout)
Reuse templates
Create model relationships
Add icons via Iconic
I will also walk you through Git, which is an awesome tool for developers that allows you to create multiple versions of your code. I'll explain why this is useful and help you understand why you should use it.
Additionally, I will show you how to take the projects that you made in this course and publish them live on the web through a Virtual Private Server. Like I said, I will take you from the very beginning to the very end!
Course material is regularly refreshed to include all of the newest updates and information, and since you’re granted lifetime access upon registering, you can rely on this course to keep your Django skills on the cutting edge. Additionally, I have made this course downloadable, so you can work through the class offline, making it as convenient as possible for you! Most instructors won't allow this, but I want you to be able to enjoy this course in whichever way is best for you :)
Don't waste your time scouring the internet and trying to piece together how to learn Django on your own. Invest in yourself, and allow me to teach you Django while having fun.
Don't take my word for it. See what my other students are saying!

Hi! I'm Nick, and I love to code. About five years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to code, but I had limited access to programming resources, and I was getting frustrated with all of the YouTube videos and online tutorials out there. I experimented, struggled, and definitely failed a lot, but I finally got the hang of it, so I decided that I wanted to change the way that people learned to code, and I started teaching. My experience as an online student has directly influenced my teaching style, because I know what it is like to be in your shoes.
When
Apple announced their new programming language, Swift, in 2014, I made my big online teaching debut and created the
internet's first Swift course. Since that time, I have
become a full-time online instructor and I now have courses not only in Swift,
but also in iOS, Android, Django, Kotlin, Python, HTML, Blockchain, etc. I have also created five iOS apps from scratch that are currently live in the App Store and are being used by thousands of users worldwide.
I love sharing my excitement for coding with my students, and I try to make learning as fun and as easy as possible. Thanks for being part of my coding community!

The course has some really great tips and pointers. However, with it being a bit dated and focusing only on Django 2.0 I would steer clear if you are new to Django and looking for a way to build websites. If you are working for a company that is still using Django 2.0 then this would be a great course for you as it covers beginner to advanced concepts with three different projects that are extremely fun to create.
By Bhargav K on 9/6/2020
Amazing experience. When i decided to learn web development, i met with a great course which covers front end and back end. Nick has been very good and right to the point in the explanation. Nick has given detailed explanation of every project. It's not easy to make you understand one framework by doing projects but nick did it exceptionally well. If you are beginner or intermediate this is the course for you. No programming knowledge required to take this course. Definitely you'll learn good content at the end of the course.

Few months back I started learning django by myself. I was learning from youtube and some other portal. But I was not getting how things work in djnago. After that I purchased this course and I am glade I did. Nick explained everything step by step with practical. You will learn a lot from this course. If you learning or plan to learn django then do not struggle here and there. Just buy this course and learn it properly. FYI - I am leaving this review after completion of this course. Thank you Nick.

50% Hasta ahora excelente el curso, el instructor explica a medida que va desarrollando lo que va haciendo y porque, luego al final de los ejercicios mas laboriosos hace un recuento de lo desarrollado y el flujo de pasos que sigue tal o cual desarrollo como por ej: para mostrar el detalle del blog , el url.py del proyecto dirigie la peticion de /blog al urls.py de blog y ahi identifica si un int viene en la url y lo redirige para mostrar el html de details.

Nick's course is one of the best (if not THE best) Django 2 courses out there. Everything is explained clearly and he shows you what you need to know when building a site with Django 2. It's also nice that Nick keeps the course updated and is engaged in the QnA sections. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn the basics of the Django framework. At the end of this course, you will be able to build and deploy cool, modern, and functional sites with complete confidence thanks to Nick's great teaching. 5/5. I'll be going through his advanced Django course soon and am sure it will be just as good as this one.

Hey Nick, I completed this course but it's showing only 75 lectures and i cant find the remaining last 7 from total of 82 lectures. I even cant find my certificate. If its about the time issue than i am having a genuine reason for why i am so late in completion of this course. I was stuck in my academics and wasn't able to come back here for this course. But i completed it and now i cant find the last 7 lectures and certificate. Please look to this. Thanks.

At first, it was hard to get familiar with various concepts that are provided to create a Django web app but going through the lectures several times. Reviewing the course after I have taken some data structures and algorithm courses at my college helped me understand the last two chapters of creating a blog and connecting it with a domain and a server as well as creating a product hunt clone. He is an awesome teacher for a beginner because he limits the information to what is absolutely necessary. This allows us to actually make something before we give up in the face of too much information.

RATING AFTER FINISHING 80% OF THE COURSE: (5 STARS) I learned python through another class so I skipped right to the django / website development stuff, and I loved every second of it. It's very hands on and effective and it learns you what you need to know to actually build a website with a Python backend! RATING AFTER TRYING TO FINISH THE LAST 20% OF THE COURSE: Wasted 2 weeks on a 20 minutes session about setting up a Postgres server and connect it to my project because I use windows 10 and this course mostly only explains /shows how things work on a Mac computer.. For the first 80% of the course it was not a problem for me since it was minor details that I could easily find answers to online (eg. stackoverflow etc.). But setting up Postgres killed me (still haven't found out how to set i tup after 2 weeks and lots of frustrations... :-(

It is a good course on Django for the beginners and helped me understand some of the basics and how to develop small to medium websites with Django. The teacher is helpful. And I feel like working on a small scale project with standard tools like git, virtual environment, etc
By Richard Rhodes on 4/4/2018
Having completed a full stack course with a large institution, I was struggling with some of the concepts surrounding Django. Going trough things step by step with Nick really helped things to "click" and sink-in!! It was super cool to have this type of presentation as it was easy to follow and more importantly, easy to understand. if you didn't get it first time around, just go back and re-do. Huge thanks to Nick also for his super speedy response to my query which really had nothing to do with the actual course but was more of a system issue to me personally. He still took the time to respond and help where he could. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone starting out in Django.
