IT-INFO

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Installation

To get started with Django, you need to have Python installed. You can install Django using pip.

pip install django

Creating a Django Project

Let's create a new Django project. Run the following command to create a new project named myproject:

django-admin startproject myproject

Running the Development Server

Navigate to your project directory and start the development server:

cd myproject
python manage.py runserver

Open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8000. You should see the Django welcome page.

Creating a Django App

Inside your project directory, create a new app named myapp:

python manage.py startapp myapp

Defining a View

Edit the views.py file in your myapp directory to define a simple view:

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world!")

Configuring URLs

Edit the urls.py file in your project directory to include the URL configuration for your app:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path('myapp/', include('myapp.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

Then, create a urls.py file inside the myapp directory:

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

Conclusion

In this guide, you've learned how to install Django, create a new project, and define a simple view. Django provides many built-in features to help you develop complex web applications quickly and efficiently. For more detailed information, refer to the official Django documentation.
