Getting Started with Python Django: My Journey into Web Development

Django is one of the most popular web frameworks for Python, and I recently started learning it. As a beginner in Django, I wanted to share my experiences, key concepts, and why I find it an exciting framework for web development.

Why Django?

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It follows the “batteries-included” philosophy, meaning it comes with built-in features like authentication, an admin panel, ORM (Object-Relational Mapping), and much more. This makes it a great choice for beginners and experienced developers alike.

Setting Up Django

To get started with Django, you need to have Python installed. If you haven’t installed Django yet, you can do so using pip:

pip install django

Once installed, you can create a new Django project with:

django-admin startproject myproject

Then, navigate to your project directory and run the development server:

cd myproject
python manage.py runserver

If everything is set up correctly, you should see a development server running at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

This is just the beginning of my Django learning journey, and I’m excited to continue exploring its features and capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates as I dive deeper into Django!
