Develop a Django App

Django is a high-level web framework for Python, which is an open source general purpose programming language.

In this guided project you will use a command line interface (CLI) in Django to create a simple web page. You will start by installing Django packages and creating a Django project to create a Django app. You will explore the fundamental configuration and setting files in the project scaffold. Next you will discover how to perform migrations to create your database tables and start a development server hosting app. Then you will add a view to receive HTTP requests and return HTTP responses. When you configure its URL, you can launch your app as a simple HTML page.

This guided project will give you a great start in using CLI to create Django projects and configure and launch Django apps.
