I just learnt some basics of python and was thinking of starting with Django , any suggestions on what would be a good starting point/resource to learn Django from ?

I am a beginner with some basic experience in python but no exposure to any other language what so ever.

Django official tutorial. Text based, but really excellent.

r/djangolearning on Reddit: The best Django course

June 1, 2024 -

Hello to everyone. Some times work and learn Python and decided to start learning Django from 0. Can somebody give me good courses from Udemy/Youtube/ etc?

I think the tutorial in the official documentation is fine, then there is the Django girls page and the Django Two Scoops book. Once you can create apps and views, I recommend learning specific things (in order): How to get body content and headers in views JSON: Parse content and use JsonResponse render shortcut and templates (context, block, if, for loop) Models: Fields (DateTime -> ForeignKey -> ImageField) Models: Migration commands Models: ModelAdmin (list_display) and TabularInline Forms (Basic usage) File Storage Class Based Views (fbvs vs cbvs) User: Authentication (auth urls and modify default templates) User: Custom Authentication views (authenticate, login, logout) User: Set permissions and groups User: Profile Model vs AbstractUser Signals How to send emails Tests (learn about UnitTest framework) Django Rest Framework (see documentation and Medium posts) DRF: APIView DRF: Serializer and ModelSerializer DRF: Generic views DRF: Pagination DRF: Session/Token Authenticantion and permissions DRF: Custom Auhentication DRF: Tests (APIClient) OAuth (OAuth Toolkit) Celery (create tasks and periodic tasks) (good to know) Django Channels (optional) Django Ninja Upload to production (run as a service, use Apache or NGINX, WhiteNoise, Docker)

Go though and Build project from the book : Django By Example 4.

I’m getting back into learning Django after stopping for a while, and I want to restart with modern learning resources that match the current real-world tech stack (Django 5.x, DRF, async, AI integration, modern tooling, etc.).

I’m looking for recommendations for the best learning path from beginner to advanced, including:

Online courses
YouTube tutorials
Books
Blogs/documentation
Project-based learning resources
Anything that helped you go from “I know nothing” to job-ready

Ideally, I want resources that focus on production-level skills, not just toy apps.

If you’ve learned Django recently (2023–2025), what resources made the biggest difference for you?

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure this is an AI bot but nothing beats CS50 Web

Try the Django documentation.

r/django on Reddit: My recommendation to learn Django

March 16, 2021 -

Here Are the resources I used to learn Django.

First step,

This three books 📚 (I highly recommend those I didn’t found anything near to the quality of those)

By William Vincent:

Django for Beginners: https://djangoforbeginners.com

Django for APIs: https://djangoforapis.com

Django for Professionals: https://djangoforprofessionals.com

Bundle: https://gumroad.com/l/bhylo?wanted=true

Website: www.LearnDjango.com

About the author: William Vincent is a Board Member of the Django Software Foundation and founder of LearnDjango.com. He hosts the weekly Django Chat podcast and runs the weekly Django News newsletter.

After those books I just jumped into the CRM of Dennis Ivanov (AKA Dennis Ivy)

His channel: https://youtube.com/c/DennisIvy

The playlist with the CRM: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-51WBLyFTg2vW-_6XBoUpE7vpmoR3ztO

This guy also has high quality videos:

JustDjango: https://youtube.com/channel/UCRM1gWNTDx0SHIqUJygD-kQ

https://justdjango.com

Django girls: https://djangogirls.org

Corey Schafer: (can be little outdated but the concepts still work. He does a lot general python but this Django playlist is worth it ):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmljXZIypDc&list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p&index=1

These are the resources I used to learn Django and web dev in general + unlimited google how to search.

Hope that will help😎👍🏻

After learning the basics: Two scoops of Django

Great list. Don't forget what is arguably the most important, accurate, and up to date resource: https://docs.djangoproject.com/

Downside of non-official tutorials is that they quickly become out of date, don't usually talk about which version of Django/Python is being used, and don't teach the 'basics' of Django/Python that help students learn how to debug issues for themselves.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Best (free) resources to learn Django?

May 19, 2018 -

Hi! I'm looking for resources to learn as much Django as it takes to become functional at developing web apps ASAP (reaching something between beginner and intermediate level).

I know basic HTML/CSS/Javascript/SQL and beginner to intermediate Python (I'm familiar with OOP).

I went through old reddit posts and I googled, and I ended up collecting a number of tutorials to complete in the order as listed below.

I've seen it's a good thing to get acquainted with Flask before learning Django, so I included that as well.

Can someone experienced with Django please comment whether this is the most efficient course to take?

Prerequisites (general Python, web servers, MVCs and Flask):

Official Python tutorial (to brush up on basics)
Primer on Python Decorators (RealPython)
What is a web server (MDN)
What software do I need to build a website? (MDN)
How do you upload files to a web server? (MDN)
Server-side website programming first steps (MDN)
Model-View-Controller (MVC) Explained – With Legos (RealPython)
Model–view–controller (Wikipedia)
Official Flask tutorial
Official Flask Quickstart
Flask Tutorial Step by Step (Udemy)

Django resources:

Official Django tutorial
Django Web Framework (Python) (MDN)
Python Django Tutorial 2018 for Beginners (YT - Clever Programmer)
Various Django courses (Treehouse)
Official Django documentation
"Test-Driven Web Development with Python" (O'Reilly)

Tutorials using old verions of Django - are they any good***?***

* Django Web Development with Python (YT - Sentdex - uses version 1.9)

* Django Tutorials for Beginners ~~(YT - thenewboston - uses version 1.9)~~

Please, don't recommend thenewboston.

They are a discouraged resource as they teach questionable practice. They don't adhere to commonly accepted standards, such as the Java Code Conventions, use horrible variable naming ("bucky" is under no circumstances a proper variable name), and in general don't teach proper practices, plus their "just do it now, I'll explain why later" approach is really bad.

I am a bot and this message was triggered by you mentioning thenewboston. Please do not respond to this comment as I will not be able to reply.

Heyyy, I just started learning django too. The resources you have look pretty good, I finished the django videos in the following course, googling a lot, reading the documentation and when all else failed, I just started using print statements in python to see what django was doing for me. I am pretty sure it's a bad technique haha but it got the job done (I was working on a website)

https://www.udemy.com/python-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/

But what you have as your resources looks pretty good to me (I ain't no expert tho), looks like you'll have a pretty solid foundation and you won't throw yourself into things which sounds like a solid idea to me. Good luck dud

Complete beginner at Django, a fairly technical guy wanting to learn backend development with no interest in the frontend. Currently, I'm following a course and exploring the official docs. What was your experience, and how did you learn Django? Share your insights!

Will Vincent’s books were very useful to me.

I would say go through the official django tutorial, then try the django girls blog tutorial then, if you are interested in that, the DRF tutorial. These are the best resources to start with django, imo.

Find elsewhere

r/django on Reddit: A good tutorial to learn Django

August 3, 2023 -

Hi , I am a novice developer as of now and I have a good grip on python concepts. I have build few applications in python but now I want to take it further and explore Django to the fullest. Can someone provide a tutorial or a guide to develop a complex application? I did search on YouTube didn’t get anything substantial.

Any link or course would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The docs are a great start! A complex application is really just a bunch of smaller logical steps built out over time.

Harvard CS50p > CS50w + Django official docs > Django REST official docs CS50p is for pure industry Python (pythonic way). Here I learned about tools like Black for opinionated formatter, Isort for import sorter, Mypy for type checking, Pytest for testing framework. Recently also discovered Ruff, superfast python linter written in Rust. CS50w is for pure Django. This course is project based, starting with a frontend for search engine, to full stack wiki, ecommerce, mail, then social network. The beauty about Django REST is that you're not building full stack projects anymore, your building APIs. Thus you can completely separate backend (like Django REST + Postgres) from the frontend (like Typescript + React and more recently HTMX).

Edit: Really appreciate everyone's suggestions, thank you.

Depends on your level. If you're comfortable with the basics of Django and python and are trying to powerup then "Very Academy" is my recommendation. Zander doesn't just code. He takes his time to explain the nitty-gritty of what he's doing and why he's doing it. He's like a mouthpiece of the official docs.

CodingEntrepreneurs has a play list "try Django 3.2" which is very good and their seven hour "build a Django REST API" tutorial is the most extensive video on DRF I've found on YouTube.

r/djangolearning on Reddit: Course to learn Django

January 27, 2025 -

I'd like to learn Django.

I already use Python.

I was considering the Udemy course by Jose Portilla Django 4 and Python Full-Stack Developer Masterclass

What do you think?

hello hello! I'm also learning django and been following the tutorials on the documentation . it's really clear and amazing to follow. I've been doing one part a day and I finished in a week, it's really great!

Before you invest in any course, please work on the official django tutorial. Don’t just copy and paste code, read the explanations and their links with an eye on comprehension. It’s free, it’s good, it’s up to date, and you won’t be worse off for doing it. Then if you want to do a course, fine. But make sure you use the exact versions of Django, Python, and whatever other libraries they use. Courses and videos tend to get outdated quickly and then people come here and post about how their code doesn’t work when they’re using different versions of the library than what the course was written on.

Hi, Python lovers.

I like Python, so in my free times I study it and want to learn Django. I have 600+ hours in Python, still can not write project exactly in Class System but still try to learn. I have a Kivy App in Google Play that called "Football Predictor Mecra YAVCIN".

I don't know where to start. Here courses that I have.

And also i know Code with Stein Youtube channel.

Could you give me some advices?

Thanks very much.

In terms of YouTube tutorials, I would recommend bugbytes. He has a lot Django focused videos including Htmx and alpine. But generally I would recommend you to build, build, build... And learn along the way. Everytime you encounter a problem, try to solve it yourself. Afterwards look for best practices Something along these lines: Simple Django app Deployment (maybe on railways) Docker for development GitHub Actions ...

I remember taking Dennis Ivy’s course a few years ago. Though I’d say go with the youtube route with Bugbytes and Coding with Stein. Tbh, Django is kinda straight forward and you have plenty of experience in python. Just follow a tutorial till the end (Learn the basics). Then, create your own projects (Fullstack Django) and make sure to finish them. If you encounter any problems search for it and make notes on what you did to fix it.

r/djangolearning on Reddit: Recommendations for learning Django from Scratch

December 21, 2021 -

Hello Buddies , I am starting out with django from scratch can you all please recommend me some resources, videos , websites to learn django for beginner level . Thanks in advance 😄

r/djangolearning Rule #1: DO THE TUTORIAL.

I knew nothing about Django 6 months ago. I’d just started learning Python and wanted to get into web development so it came along. I first started using Flask and did a simple blog then moved to Django as I wanted to use Wagtail as my CMS. I just watched hours and hours of YouTube vids, taking notes, trying to understand everything not just copying things. Every tutorial I tried I would always customise things, add my own features, this would bring problems that I would have overcome myself, I learnt a lot by making my own mistakes. Along the way I learnt the basics of HTML, CSS, started understanding Git/GitHub and now want to learn HTMX and some JS. So be prepared to learn that stuff too. My advice is to just try building something, use a book or tutorial but add your own features. Take notes. Don’t just copy code. I’m still a beginner but I can now happily produce a simple website, but I love learning more and more, Python is so amazing and what can be achieved with Django is so good.

I am a Senior Frontend Developer with +7 years. The company I am already working has a Tech Stack with Django.

One of my mission is getting certificate related to our tech stack. I want to learn Django with advanced backend concepts because it is opportunity for me.

I know that the best way to learn a new technology is reading and applying the docs. But my company rule is collecting certificate as well.

What are your suggestions in this point? Which courses do you suggest to me? Thanks in advance 🖖

October 22, 2023 -

I would like to start a course that allows me to learn at least the basics of Django and at the same time get a free certificate for having completed the course, are there any good options?

Any "free" cert is worthless and/or not respected. You can take CS50w for free, but to register for the course with the cert costs $376: https://www.edx.org/certificates/professional-certificate/harvardx-computer-science-for-web-programming A friend of mine completed the course and my team hired her to work with us on a Django project that we already had going. She still has a lot to learn, but we were able to throw her in the proverbial "deep end" right away without her sinking... :D

Something like this ?

I want paid django course. I completed the basics of django and made some projects like blog, todo lists, portfolio, etc. I want to learn some advance cocepts too like middleware , rest api, signals...

Recently i learned js and postgresql too. So suggest me some course please.

Just go through the documentation and experiment with the concepts that you haven't tried. Be careful of tutorials and courses or you'll be forever stuck in tutorial hell

You dont need to pay for a course. everything is free out there. Start doing projects and if you want to spend money find a consultant that you can ask for help when you get stuck on something, it will save you a lot of time.

r/djangolearning on Reddit: courses to learn django

September 1, 2023 -

Hello everyone! I'm in my first job as a junior developer, and in this case, I work as a backend developer, primarily using Django in our projects (although we use Node.js in some cases, about 90% of our projects are built with Django). I wanted to ask for advice and recommendations on courses, tutorials, or resources where I can learn and deepen my knowledge as much as possible, whether through theoretical knowledge or by building projects. The goal is to improve my programming skills and become proficient with this framework.

It's not just Django that we use; we also work with libraries like graphene and strawberry because we use GraphQL. We use Amazon Web Services, and the front end is usually built with React or React Native.

Could you recommend resources to help me improve and learn beyond the basics? Thank you very much!!!
