Django Features and Libraries

This stage of Michigan’s sequence introduces the features needed when a site has users and related records. Cookies, sessions, authentication and editing flows appear alongside one-to-many data models. Independent application work helps reveal whether you can connect the features without copying a demonstration.

What you will learn

• Explain the relationship between cookies and server sessions.
• Use Django login behavior to distinguish authenticated users.
• Create editing flows around related database records.

Who this suits

Django learners comfortable with basic models, views and templates.

Before you enroll

The course is intermediate and takes around seventeen hours by the provider’s estimate. Authentication and ownership behavior need their own tests when adapting the examples.

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

Add accounts to a sample collection manager. Confirm that two test users can edit their own records and cannot change each other’s data.
