This document introduces the back-end portion of a Django bootcamp. It will cover command line basics, Python fundamentals up to object-oriented programming, and using the Django web framework. Students will first build a simple website to learn core concepts and then complete clone projects to learn advanced topics. The goal is to provide explanations for fundamental ideas before applying them in more realistic full-website builds.

Introduction to the

Back-End
Django Bootcamp

● Welcome to the back-end half of the


course!
● Before we begin, let’s get a brief
overview of what to expect for this half!
● Also congratulate yourself, you’ve already
learned a lot!
Django Bootcamp

● To use Django and Python effectively a


basic level of understanding the
command line is necessary.
● These commands are sometimes slightly
different for Windows users versus
MacOS and Linux users.
Django Bootcamp

● Refer to the notes for full examples and


reference commands, we will only need
to know a few to get started.
● The next lecture will have a quick
overview of them for you!
Django Bootcamp

● In order to use Django we need to have a


pretty good understanding of Python.
● We will need to learn Python up to the
point of Object Oriented Programming.
● If you have previous experience with
Python, feel free to skip lectures!
Django Bootcamp

● Once we’ve learned enough Python we


can begin to use the Django web
framework to create websites!
● Let’s go over a very high level overview of
how Django works!

● It is now time to learn enough Python to


successfully use the Django Framework
we just described!
● As we go through the back-end make
sure to visit the documentation (it is
really well written!)
Django

● Many Django tutorials dive straight into


a “clone” project. Where you are guided
through a clone of a popular website (e.g.
Twitter, Reddit,etc.)
● This course takes a split approach, create
a simple site first, then clones.
Django

● We will first develop a very simple


website.
● The website will just be a simple registry
of user-provided link with some basic
user interactivity.
Django

● The reason we don’t do a clone at first is


because this doesn’t provide the best
learning experience for the fundamental
concepts.
● With the simpler website approach we
can give clear explanations.
Django

● This approach also allows us to add in


exercises that you can try out
independently!
● Once we’ve gotten the main concepts
down with the simple website, then we
can tackle clone projects.
Django

● The later sections of this course will then


utilize the clone projects to introduce
more advanced concepts, like social
logins, authorization, deployment, etc.
● Clones are a great way to introduce
those topics in a fun and interesting way!
Django

● Get ready to learn a lot!


● This half of the course is where you get to
build all the cool stuff!
