2. Installation and Setup

1. Install Python and pip.


2. Create a virtual environment:
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
3. Install Django: pip install django
4. Create a project:
django-admin startproject myproject
cd myproject
python manage.py runserver
Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser.

3. Django Project vs App

Project: Entire website (container)


App: Reusable component or feature
Create an app:
python manage.py startapp blog

4. Views, URLs, Templates (MVT Pattern)

Model - Database
View - Logic
Template - HTML page
Create view in blog/views.py and map in blog/urls.py
Include blog.urls in main project's urls.py

5. Models and ORM

Define models in models.py


Use makemigrations and migrate to update the database
Example:
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
content = models.TextField()

6. Admin Panel

Register models in admin.py


Create a superuser with:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Access admin at /admin

7. Templates and Static Files

Templates are HTML files stored in templates/appname/


Use render(request, template, context) in views
Static files are for CSS, JS, images

8. Forms and CRUD

Use HTML forms with POST method


Handle POST request in views and save data using model.objects.create()
CRUD: Create, Read, Update, Delete operations

9. User Authentication

Django provides built-in user login, logout, registration via django.contrib.auth


Use auth_views in urls.py
