Intro Knowing a language will only get you so far. If you have to build everything by yourself, you'll never get things done before the deadline. After you learned a programming language, it's smart to add a framework to your arsenal. Django is the m...

Wow! This made it very easy to understand the basic concepts of Django. For beginners, it is one of the best Django tutorials to read.

I love to hear that, thank you (:

For some reason I'm yet to figure out, my texts stopped showing in the browser when I got to the "using tabs to separate upcoming and previous books" section. All was well when I displayed items gotten from using Books.object.all(). I have copied the exact code from the blog yet no change.

Yes it does. GirlThatLovesToCode

So after a plethora of trial and errors, I got the texts to display by removing the fade and show class from the upcoming_books div. Did the same for previous_books div. Thank you for your help. Great tutorial by the way. GirlThatLovesToCode

I'm glad you got it to work (:

Very well explained article, waiting for more!

In the last section, ie displaying the latest book for discussion, the html template file should be all_books.html but it is given as book_detail.html

Sorry but little bit confused...if you can help... In forms.py file at the time of creation you have added

from bookclub.models import Discussion

But in the models.py we only have model name Book... There is no model name Discussion.

Please help me with this confusion 🙏

I can't believe this got lost. Thanks for notifying me.

Now you have another chapter prior to the forms one - "Discussion model".

Please, go through the new chapter, now you shouldn't have any problems.

Please, if you find some other mistake, don't hesitate to notify me of it.

This is a wonderfully crafted tutorial. As a scientific programmer the front-end has always been challenging and I haven't found a better introduction to Django anywhere!

I’m glad to hear that 😇

Really great intro to Django!

Thank you so much for this Amazing article @GirlThatLovesToCode ..it helped me a lot to understand each concept smoothly.

Still confuse How would I get to know what to import at beginning of file at what time..if you can help😊

I'm glad you liked it. If you needed a new import, it was included in the code. I tried to unclutter the code by omitting the previous imports. You can check all the imports in the end code.

Imports will work in whatever order you put them in, but to keep it clean, I:

first import the pure python imports (eg. import re)
leave a blank line
import Django imports (eg. from django.shortcuts import render)
leave a blank line
import my custom imports (eg. from bookclub.models import Book)

@[GirlThatLovesToCode] Thanks Girl...you made my day :)

I'll try creating a blog using the same procedure. As a javascript dev all I can say is kudos! Thanks for the great article. I learnt more than alot

I'm glad to read this. Keep me posted on how it's going and if you need some help, feel free to ask.

This is highly appreciated 👏👌. Thanks...

Great post for beginners🙌 You should write more of those.

Thank you 🙂. I'm planning to 🙂

Great post. Hope There will be REST framework later.

Thank you 🙂 There already is: girlthatlovestocode.com/django-rest-api

This is for the beginning, I’ll get to advanced eventually 🙂
