Web Application Technologies and Django

In this course, you will learn the basic structure of a web application and how a web browser communicates with a web server. You will be introduced to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request/response cycle, including GET/POST/Redirect. You will also gain an introduction to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), as well as the overall structure of a Django application. We will examine the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern for web applications and how it relates to Django. You will learn how to deploy a Django application using a service such as PythonAnywhere so that it is accessible over the web. This is the first course in the Django for Everyone specialization. It is recommended that you complete the Python for Everyone specialization or equivalent learning experience before beginning this series.
