Training Outline
1. Setting Up
- We'll show you how to get set up with Python and Django so as to turn a static HTML website into one that runs using Django as a back-end
2. Data Models
- We will add our data models to our code so that we can let our users update information in the admin panel and across the website generally.
- We'll also add a rich text editor, and previous and next links to our site.
3. Multiple Models
- We'll talk about how we create new models from scratch, how to connect them to existing parts of the project and if we should even connect them at all!
4. Getting Online
- We will deploy a production site (a fancy way to say we'll get the code online!) by using Git, GitHub, Heroku and Amazon Web Services.
