Django is powerful! (not the movie)


I have almost completed another tutorial on Teamtreehouse.com, it’s called Django Basics. And I have to say, django is a pretty impressive framework. Admittedly, this is the first time I’ve ever used it, or anything like it.

Soon, I’ll post the files to github, but part of me feels like that would be cheating. It’s my first attempt, and followed a tutorial. But I suppose we all have to start somewhere… I expect to make improvements and adjustments as time goes on. And more importantly, develop my own web apps.

Anyway, back to django… One of the standout impressions is that it comes with an admin panel built in! By that, I mean you can create users with different permission levels and an access panel! Maybe I am easily amused, but that is a great time saver! (I have built simple login for an iOS app, but it was account level only.)

This post ended up being a bit shorter than expected… As I gain more experience, I will be able to speak more eloquently on the virtues and downfalls of django. Plus other frameworks, and how they may be superior to django…

Update: 8-29-2016

Somehow, I just completed a level of the django tutorial. Admittedly, that was a LOT of information, and not quite sure how I got  through it. I will definitely have to go back and redo that, or complete a comparable tutorial through another provider… Time for a break, now to go play with iOS.
