- Django is a free open source web framework written in Python that allows for rapid development of secure and maintainable websites. - It follows the MVT (Model View Template) architectural pattern with Models representing data, Views handling business logic, and Templates for presentation. - To create a Django project, you install Django, start a project with django-admin, add apps, define models, views, URLs, templates, and test. Django provides generated starter code and admin interface. - An example Todo app was demonstrated with a Task model having fields like name, description, owner, responsibilities, and completion status.
