Select Topics in Python: Django

Codio teaches Django through runnable examples and short written explanations rather than videos. Project setup leads into views, templates, URL patterns and database models, followed by Bootstrap styling and deployment. The editable environment makes this a useful alternative for learners who prefer testing a change immediately and inspecting its effect on a working application.

What you will learn

• Connect views, templates and URL patterns.
• Represent application data with Django models.
• Style and deploy a small Django project.

Who this suits

Some Python experience is expected, while Django can be new. Review the browser-based exercise environment and the amount of independent coding required.

Before you enroll

This is deliberately video-free teaching. Compare Django and dependency versions with current documentation, and inspect the deployment terms before moving an exercise beyond the provider environment.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for included assessments, certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Access conditions can change; review the current offer before paying.

Put it into practice

Build a small list-and-detail application, change a URL and add one field. Explain the path from request to template, then test a missing record and document the behavior you expect.
