Do It! Django + Bootstrap: The Standard of Python Web Development

The 'Standard' of Python Web Development!
Learning Web Development from A to Z by Building 💬

Lecture Topic 😊

This course is for Python users who want to do web development. You can create your own blog site using Django, one of the most representative web frameworks in the Python ecosystem. After following this course to the end, everyone will be able to have a website like doitdjango.com .

In this course, you can learn everything from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to Bootstrap, the Python web framework Django, Docker, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Build a comprehensive understanding of web development and develop problem-solving skills by implementing necessary features one by one and overcoming the challenges you encounter. Let's get started right now!

Direct lecture by the author! You can learn the contents of the book
more thoroughly.

From screen design to Amazon server deployment, experience web development all in one book!

This course is for those who want to learn through video the <Do it! Django+Bootstrap Python Web Development Guide> published by Easyspub. As of 2021, it includes additional commonly used technologies, and incorporates as much feedback as possible from students who took the course that opened in 2019.

Shall we properly dive into web development together? 👉

This course is for people like this.

In addition, it's also great for people like this.

• "I have started taking my first steps as a developer, but I don't have a website to introduce myself yet."
• "I have experience with other programming languages, but I am in a situation where I need to develop a website using Python."

Designed so that anyone can take the course, even without any prior experience in web development.

I have structured this course so that even those who have only taken a basic Python course and know nothing about the web can easily follow along. Go from the stage of installing Python and setting up your development environment to developing a Google login feature and finally hosting your service on an Amazon web server using Docker.

What you will look like after taking this course

This course aims to develop and actually deploy a blog that you can use and operate yourself. Therefore, it includes the development of all necessary features for real-world web development, such as writing permission settings, social login, and security. By the time you finish this course, doitdjango.com you will have a fully functional website just like it.

What skills will I learn?

You will learn these topics in this course.

Basic Environment Setup

We will install the necessary programs for Python web development so that you can work in the same environment as the other students.

Building a Foundation in Frontend

Most websites we see through web browsers on computers or smartphones are composed of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. By creating your own self-introduction page, you will understand the roles of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and learn how to use them.

Bootstrap Basics

Bootstrap is a toolkit that provides pre-designed components commonly needed for web development. By using Bootstrap, even developers with little web design experience can create professional-looking pages and build responsive websites that adapt to various screen sizes.

Getting Started with Django

Now that you have learned how to create the interface, it is time to learn the structure of a website. You will grasp the concepts of general website architecture and learn how to implement them using the Python web framework, Django.

Setting up URLs; FBV (Function Based View) and CBV (Class Based View)

While implementing blog features, you will learn how to configure URLs for website pages and develop them to provide the necessary information.

Static files & Media files

You will learn how to use CSS or JavaScript files in a website created with Django, and also learn how to implement a feature for uploading files to the website. 

template_tags & conditional statements

You will learn how to use conditional statements within HTML files.

Test Driven Development (TDD)

While programming, there are often cases where the program becomes so complex that it is difficult to find the cause when a problem occurs. Sometimes, even if you identify the cause, the source code is so intricately tangled that it is difficult to make changes hastily.

However, by using Test-Driven Development, you can reduce these frustrating situations. From Section 8 onwards, we will understand the concept of Test-Driven Development and apply it to our project.

Modularizing Template Files

It is easier to manage elements that are used repeatedly by modularizing the source code. You will learn how to modularize and manage elements that must be maintained throughout the website, such as navigation bars and footers.

Relations - Many-to-one relationship

When developing for the web, there are times when you need to connect different pieces of information. For example, the relationship between blog posts and authors is a many-to-one relationship, as a single member can write multiple blog posts. While learning about many-to-one relationships, I will show you how to implement an author feature for posts and a category feature for blog entries.

Relations - Many-to-Many Relationships

While the relationship between a post and its author is a many-to-one relationship, Instagram hashtags are a many-to-many relationship. By implementing the tag feature for a blog, you will naturally learn about many-to-many relationships. 

Implementing post creation and editing features with forms

Django provides a tool called 'form' to make it easy to develop features for creating new posts. In this lecture, we will study how Django's forms work. In the process, we will implement features for creating and editing blog posts.

Utilizing External Libraries

When developing web applications using Python and Django, it is easy to import and use libraries developed by others in your project. We will use Django-crispy-forms to refine the appearance of the forms developed in Section 12, add Markdown functionality using Django-markdownx, and implement Google and email login features using Django-allauth.

Developing the Comment Feature

A blog should naturally have a comment feature. While implementing the comment functionality, we will review the Django features we learned previously.

Implementing Other Convenience Features

Through pagination, you will learn how to control the number of posts displayed on a single page to prevent too many from appearing at once. Additionally, you will practice JavaScript while implementing a search function and utilize Django's filtering features.

Creating the Main Page and About Me Page

We will implement the important pages that have been put off, so that the website you created can serve as your portfolio and your public face.

Preparing to move with Docker

Now is the time to prepare to move the results developed so far to an Amazon web server. We use Docker to provide the same environment without major issues even in different OS environments.

Along with using Docker, we will show you how to use a specialized DB program (PostgreSQL) and a web server program (Nginx) so that your project can become a real public web service rather than just a test web page.

Deploying to Amazon Lightsail

To ensure our website runs 24 hours a day, we need to rent a server. Amazon Web Services offers an affordable server rental service called Lightsail. In this section, we will learn how to upload and serve the website we created on this server.

Connecting a Domain

Now it is time to purchase a domain and connect it to our website. This process also covers the steps for obtaining HTTPS security certification.
