Learn web development: Django Web Framework

If you&#x27;re curious about how to set up a modern JS frontend on top of Django, I wrote up a tutorial recently. It might be helpful if you&#x27;re debating between trying a Single Page App approach or some other design: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@theSquashSH&#x2F;reconciling-djangos-mvc-templates-with-react-components-3aa986cf510a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@theSquashSH&#x2F;reconciling-djangos-mvc-temp...</a>

Great to see Mozilla supporting Django. But isn&#x27;t the official Django tutorial cover all of this, Why not just link to it?

I had used Django back in version 1.3 and was just thinking today of how I need to brush up, as it has been a few years.<p>The timing of this article couldn&#x27;t have been better. Now I&#x27;ve got my weekend cut out :)

Django is such an important building block of the web, it completely deserves this tutorial on MDN.<p>As someone who came to Django quite late, I cannot stress enough how coding in Django is refreshing. Yes it&#x27;s not about microservices nor it bring all the trendy technologies that we all hear about.<p>And that&#x27;s just fine, you get things done with it and at the end of the day this is what matters.

This is pretty fantastic. I was just thinking about diving into learning Django for an idea I want to build so this link is timely.

Dumb question, why does the guide suggest that you create an empty folder and then initialize the project from there? (django_test&#x2F;mytestsite, locallibrary&#x2F;locallibrary)<p>As far as I can tell, no file, hidden or otherwise, is left in the outer folder.

This looks fantastic! May I suggest some syntax highlighting so the code boxes don&#x27;t look so drab, though?

It has been years since I have used Django - do they still expect everything in the model to go in a single file or can you put each model in it&#x27;s own file now?

Is Django restful in current version? Or I still need these if request.GET and if request.POST ?

Oh man, this is far superior to the official Django tutorial I think. MDN really does a good job at holding your hand through the process.<p>There are moments when going through docs where way too many assumptions are made about what I know. This is where prerequisites and objectives really help out. I know what I am getting into before grokking.

Huh. Makes me miss php
