Python Django: Learn Django Core From Scratch

Who uses Django?

• Python programmers who prefer a high-level approach to web development.
• Developers working on large-scale applications that require a robust and scalable backend framework.
• Startups, established companies, and individual developers who value the "batteries-included" philosophy of Django.

Is Django frontend or backend?

Django is primarily a backend web application framework, although it can handle both frontend and backend design within the same framework. It excels at handling data modeling and database interactions, user authentication, content administration, and more.

What are the key considerations when deciding on a Web Application Framework?

• The programming language used (Django uses Python).
• Learning curve and documentation quality.
• Community support and ecosystem (libraries, extensions, etc.).
• Performance and scalability.
• Suitability for the project's specific needs.
• Long-term viability of the framework.

What is the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern?

MVC is a design pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components:

• Model: Manages the data and business logic.
• View: Handles the display of data to the user.
• Controller: Acts as an interface between Model and View, processing user input and mapping requests to appropriate models or views.

What careers use Django?

• Web developers (frontend, backend, and full-stack).
• Data scientists and analysts working with web applications.
• Software engineers in tech companies.
• Entrepreneurs and startups developing web products.
