Web Application Technologies and Django

Michigan places Django in the wider web environment before concentrating on application features. HTTP and deployment sit alongside HTML, CSS and SQL, helping explain what happens between the browser and a Python service. The listed workload is about twelve hours.

What you will learn

• Follow a browser request through the HTTP response cycle.
• Deploy a simple Django application on PythonAnywhere.
• Connect page structure and basic SQL operations to a web application.

Who this suits

Learners beginning Michigan’s Django sequence who want to understand the technologies around the framework.

Before you enroll

The provider labels the course intermediate and leaves the prerequisite field blank. Inspect the opening lessons if Python or command-line work is unfamiliar.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Deploy a minimal information page and trace one request from the browser to the application. Write down which parts belong to HTTP, HTML and Django.
