My first attempt learning how to build a website using Django (Python) framework, HTML and CSS

Why Django framework

• Python web framework
  • Most used language due to my data science career path
  • Also a lot more versatile and an industry standard in comparison to Flask, Cherry Pie, Web2py and Pyramid
• Server Side framework
  • I want to focus more on backend development
• MVT designer pattern
  • I wanted an easy and fast to deploy designer pattern

What I learned:

Frontend

• Transforming HTML structures into aesthetically pleasing designs.
• Learning CSS best practices to make webpages for optimal user experience.
• Making dynamic and interactive pages using Jinja

Backend

• implementing multiple connected apps in Django with their own CRUD methods
  • includes modelling relationships and using signals to update the dependent models
• Building a relational database in Django
• Create a user authentication system using Django's User models
• Allow a reviewing and messaging system
• building REST APIs
• production and deployment of a local website
