WEBVTT 00:02.830 --> 00:03.310 Okay. 00:03.310 --> 00:07.270 In this section, we will be talking about Django Web framework. 00:07.270 --> 00:13.540 And I will tell you what is Django, How can we use it and where we can find more information about 00:13.540 --> 00:14.590 this framework. 00:14.860 --> 00:15.250 Okay. 00:15.250 --> 00:16.900 So let's start from the point. 00:16.900 --> 00:18.610 What is actually Django? 00:18.610 --> 00:22.870 Django is a Web framework for perfectionist and with deadlines. 00:22.870 --> 00:24.610 What does it mean, Django? 00:24.640 --> 00:29.140 I have to say it's very much mature framework at this point. 00:29.140 --> 00:38.170 I think it has at least ten years and it's not a framework that appears recently and it will disappear 00:38.290 --> 00:38.950 soon. 00:38.980 --> 00:45.280 It is already on the market for a very long time and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. 00:45.280 --> 00:46.780 So this is Django. 00:46.810 --> 00:49.780 Django is actually a full stack framework. 00:49.780 --> 00:57.160 What this mean in Django, you can create a web application that will cover both backend, that means 00:57.160 --> 01:03.560 server and also frontend, which is actually a web application or a web page. 01:03.830 --> 01:06.410 So we can do both in the Django. 01:06.410 --> 01:13.610 In this tutorial we will be focusing on creating a backend because our front end will be based on the 01:13.640 --> 01:15.890 on the front end framework. 01:15.890 --> 01:18.770 But Django is capable of doing both. 01:19.010 --> 01:26.750 So we have we are here on the website Django Project.com, and you can see here you have a few information 01:26.750 --> 01:29.900 about what the Django is and how we can use it. 01:29.900 --> 01:35.510 So to get started with Django, you can click on this link and we'll do that later in the course and 01:35.510 --> 01:41.540 I will show you how we can actually install Django and how we can start using this framework. 01:41.750 --> 01:49.340 So before we will move to this section, I would like to explain why I picked Django over different 01:49.340 --> 01:50.210 frameworks. 01:50.210 --> 01:58.820 I'm here on the website, Hot frameworks.com and you can see here that's a comparison of different frameworks 01:58.820 --> 01:59.870 available on the market. 01:59.870 --> 02:06.350 This is not only a Python frameworks, this is all frameworks available in different languages. 02:06.350 --> 02:11.000 That's all like a comparison for all web frameworks available for us. 02:11.300 --> 02:19.040 And you can see here that the tabular data and Django is at the moment it's at seventh position with 02:19.040 --> 02:25.730 a global score, I think 92, which is very, very good at the moment. 02:25.730 --> 02:32.570 You can see here that all the languages and all the web frameworks and it's still in top seventh at 02:32.570 --> 02:33.380 the moment. 02:33.830 --> 02:36.920 And you can see Django is this one, the red one. 02:36.920 --> 02:38.540 So it is here. 02:38.540 --> 02:44.720 So very stable and actually growing trend for for Django. 02:44.720 --> 02:53.750 So we can be sure it's not going to disappear if we go to languages and we'll pick Python here you can 02:53.750 --> 02:56.390 see Django is overall winner here. 02:56.390 --> 03:03.050 And there is no doubt that this is the most popular framework for for Python language. 03:03.050 --> 03:06.770 But why do I picked Django myself? 03:06.890 --> 03:10.970 Because it's very easy to use and it's very, very fast. 03:11.000 --> 03:18.980 On the main website they said with deadlines, that means you can start your project with no time and 03:18.980 --> 03:24.800 you can achieve things with Django that in other frameworks you will probably need to spend at least 03:24.800 --> 03:27.350 twice as much time as with Django. 03:27.380 --> 03:32.690 Django is packed with so many features that are ready to use in the moment. 03:32.690 --> 03:37.610 When you install that, you don't need to write your own code to cover it. 03:37.610 --> 03:39.590 That's everything included there. 03:39.590 --> 03:43.550 Some people say that's a bad thing because you don't have a full control. 03:43.550 --> 03:46.250 What would you like to add into framework? 03:46.250 --> 03:49.370 And it's much heavier than other frameworks. 03:49.370 --> 03:52.910 Like for example, another popular framework will be Flask. 03:52.940 --> 03:55.070 Flask is very minimal frameworks. 03:55.070 --> 03:57.140 That means you will install and you have nothing. 03:57.140 --> 04:00.490 And if you would like to add something to it, you will need to add it manually. 04:00.500 --> 04:08.180 Django is packed with everything, so everything is ready to go and it's quite heavy, but to be honest, 04:08.210 --> 04:09.620 it's sitting on the server. 04:09.620 --> 04:13.730 If you have a little bit of space on the server, it doesn't really matter that much. 04:13.730 --> 04:19.730 So I like it because if you want to do something, you will install Django and you have everything ready 04:19.730 --> 04:21.440 for you to use it. 04:21.470 --> 04:28.370 So what we will need to have to have Django, obviously we need to have a python installed on our machine 04:28.370 --> 04:30.800 and I will show you how to do it in the next video.
