Django Girls Tutorial

The Django Girls organization offers an awesome walkthrough of creating a simplified Django app. We'll use this to get the hang of how Django is put together and what it does.

Please read these instructions before you start.

1. Start here at the Introduction

2. SKIP the Installation sections

3. READ the section on How the Internet Works

4. SKIP Introduction to the Command Line (unless you want a review)

5. SKIP Python installation, Code editor, and Introduction to Python

6. READ What is Django?

7. READ Django installation: you can skip these steps and install Django the way you saw in class. OR you can install it this way. Entirely up to you.

   (If you do it the way we do in class, you will use pipenv instead of virtualenv and pipenv install instead of pip install.)

8. SKIP the Deploy! section. This uses a service called PythonAnywhere to deploy your code. We'll learn about deploying later in the course. You also do not need to do any of the Git steps in this section. Just do your usual routine of adding, committing, and pushing code to this repo.
