This is my favorite channel for learning Django. Thanks Dennis and please keep creating great contents like this, we appreciate it so much! 💪💪

[venkateshanap]

You're Django tutorials and the way of teaching is so good and very easy to learn. I really loved it. Because whenever I heard the word 'Django' people will started to say Django is hard to learn but you made it as simple as that. Thank you Dennis. This video is also very helpful

[manuellopes]

I saw this video last week, i'm still standing clapping. Thanks Dennis 🙌👍

[iemon]

When I discovered your channel, I was so happy to finally have a teacher who can explain complicated stuff in very shorts, but so CLEAR. Before I started your courses, Django was really a taught topic for me. Although now I've got my internship in this area.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Dennis, you're an awesome teacher who teaches so elegantly inspiring students by the way! Best of the best❤

this video was quite overwhelming to me because I do not really know to much about django. this just honestly motivating me to learn as much as I can and thats what I'll do, thanks Dennis. great video.

[Jollyjoky]

I watch this channel with open mind, open heart and taking as much notes as I can

[rossli]

There are videos on coding interviews. There are also tutorial videos on Django. But yours is the first video I encountered that focuses on both things. Love this focuses perspective, also provides a sketched outline of learning path of Django. Keep it up!

Saludos desde España!

[jiwonkim]

Thank you so so much for this video! I have an early Django SWE interview next week, and your videos have helped me brush up a lot on Django ideas and concepts. I know most of the answers to these questions so I am feeling quite encouraged! Will be practicing talking through the answers in this video!

[omarraafat]

It's the best video I've watched for an interview preparation!

[jj-big-slay-yo]

Now I wonder what would be your intermediate / medior / advanced questions be? Like what are websockets, how you can use them with django? Difference between wsgi / asgi? What is a UUID good for? How would you do a backend queue & what is it good for? And similar stuff. Also how would you integrate a django app with react or vue? What are your options? Pros / contras?

[antfact]

Thanks a lot for this! here I was thinking I am months away from a junior django job and it turns out I know 90% of this stuff like the back of my hand

[jorgegutierrez]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!, very useful. I hope we can see in the future interviews for advance/expert developers

[AnkitSingh-xgqy]

You literally made my interview super easy & fun, U'r a Dimond for Python-django developer.
