Django is Python's 'batteries-included' web framework. It provides an ORM, admin panel, authentication, routing, and templating out of the box. Django powers Instagram, Pinterest, and Mozilla, and is the go-to framework for building web applications with Python.

How Django Works

Django follows the 'don't repeat yourself' (DRY) principle. Its ORM maps Python classes to database tables, the admin panel gives you a free CRUD interface, and Django REST Framework adds API capabilities. You can go from idea to working app faster than almost any other framework.

Key Concepts

  • ORM — Map Python classes to database tables — query data with Python, not SQL
  • Admin Panel — Auto-generated admin interface for managing your data — customizable without writing frontend code
  • Django REST Framework — Third-party package that adds powerful API building capabilities — serialization, authentication, viewsets
