This document provides an overview of the Django web framework, including how to start a new project, create applications, define models, connect to a database, configure templates and static files, and implement the MTV architectural pattern. Key steps outlined are using django-admin to start a new project, adding apps, defining models like Post with fields, altering settings.py to connect to the database, and configuring directories for templates and static files. The document encourages questions and provides a link to demo code.

● Some new files are generated:
– __init__.py
– manage.py
– settings.py
– urls.py

4. Create your application within
your Project
● python manage.py startapp app_name
● Include your app in the project by modifying
settings.py

5. Models ???

6. Models... (2)
● Ok, it's not related to fashion models.
● Model refers to the data access layer ( database)
● Example of a django model:
class post(models.Model):
author = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
title = models.CharField(max_length = 300)
bodytext = models.TextField()

7. Connecting DB to your Django
Project
● Alter settings.py
● python manage.py syncdb

8. Some tweaking
● STATICFILES_DIRS
● TEMPLATE_DIRS
