Purchase options and add-ons

Build six real-world Django websites from scratch with authentication, content management systems, tests, permissions, and production-ready deployment.

Django for Beginners is the fifth edition of the leading guide to building real-world web applications with Python. It takes a practical approach, introducing concepts through six projects designed to simulate real-world scenarios. From a Hello World website to a message board application, a blogging platform, and a newspaper CRM, you'll learn about Django's architecture and how to add new functionality step-by-step. Coverage includes best practices, enhanced testing, and a detailed deployment guide to ensure you're ready for real-world web development challenges.

Key Features
  • Updated for Django 5 and Python 3.12
  • Master Django fundamentals, including models, ORM, views, templates, URLs, settings, forms, and authentication
  • Deploy your website into production and toggle between local and production environments seamlessly
  • Write robust tests and utilize environment variables for enhanced security
  • Implement custom authentication: signup, login, logout, password change, and password reset
  • Integrate powerful third-party Django packages to improve key functionality

New to this edition: This fifth edition is completely revised to reflect the latest Django release and current best practices. New and updated coverage includes function and class-based views, a Company Website project to cover templates and template contexts in depth, an updated deployment guide, and the latest versions of all third-party Django packages.
