Course Overview
A course for beginners in back end, uses Django 2, python3 to make you a full stack developer
Hi and welcome to BackEnd Development for Beginners using Django - Build 8 Projects.
Before we talk anything about this course, let’s get clear about what you should already know before taking this course.
NOTE: This course is on Django 2
1. Front end basics
If you have taken my Complete front end developer Bootcamp or any other such course where things like HTML and basics of CSS got cleared, then you are good to go for next requirement. This is a backend focused course and we will not be talking much on stuff like “How to change background color”.
2. Python Basics
Django is based on python and it will be a good idea to clear your python basics before taking this course. Things like Loops, If Else, Functions, and Classes are used in this course, with an expectation that you are aware of it. You don’t need to be a guru in python but at least syntax should be comfortable for you.
Why Django?
While designing BackEnd course, there were a lot of option but I asked a question a that If I could go back in time and suggest me the easiest backend framework to get started, what would it be. Most tech startups use Django because it is easy to implement. You can focus on what you are building instead of other framework issues.
On top of that, it is backed by Python, One of the top most favorite programming language of people at the internet.
What will we be building in this course?
This course is totally focused on beginners. Goal here is not to scare you from programming jargons. Course is totally based on projects and each project will focus on a specific issue that we will deal.

This class indeed gives me a clear view of how django works. It's a great class for beginners and I'll recommend to my friends who are interested. However, the repetitive works in the video really disappoints me, cuz it lags my learning speed so much. And I strongly recommend you to briefly explain django built-in objects immediately after them being mentioned in the video. Sometimes checking documentation interrupts my learning flow. In general, the class is well worth.

Expected it to cover a little bit of more concept but it ended up only in exercise. At some points I have to go to documentations to understand those concepts.

Good content for a beginner. Some of the concepts though need a little deeper explanation. I would appreciate seeing a Search feature functionality in the course.

The good part is that I was looking for a course with many projects, to get into a routine for building projects with Django. This course met my expectations in that respect and was very helpful. I would recommend it to others who are looking for more practice with Django. The part that could be improved is the unnecessary talking ('totally my bad, my mistake there, this is totally OK' etc.). It is not necessary to continuously fill up the time by talking. Sometimes it is confusing because things are referred to that are not discussed any further- better to not mention them if the course does not go into it. Also, if an assignment is given, some attention should be given to this assignment and the expected results.
