Django for Web - 101

Welcome to Django - 101

This is the basic how to create a Django project.

Why Django

It is an open-source project and Django is a full-stack web framework for Python, providing a more comprehensive solution than Flask. However, I aim to deploy a model rather than develop a full-stack product.

What do I do

at first, we install Python
if it is not available on our local computer.

pip install Django

if it is avail it shows a message below, other than it takes a few seconds
:)

It's time to create our project. Kudus !!!

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to create your project.

2. Run the following command to create a new Django project. Replace "myproject" with the desired name for your project:
   

django-admin startproject project_name
example: 
django-admin startproject myproject

1. Change into the project directory:

cd myproject

open the project with vs-code and select git-bash as a terminal.

1. Now, let's create a Django app. Apps are components within a project that handle specific functionalities. Run the following command to create an app. Replace "myapp" with the desired name for your app:

python manage.py startapp myapp

after run the command we can see myapp is inside the myproject

1. Now we run our app

      python manage.py runserver

After running this command we can see the output likes

if you see something in your picture number 3 your project is done.

Congratulations! You've just created a basic Django project with a simple app.

My next post will be how to see the output after creating the project. Till then stay tuned and learn together.
