Django Tutorial

My most requested tutorial starts today. In this part of my Django tutorial I'll show you how to install Django on both Windows and MacOS. I tested this series of steps on multiple machines to hopefully guarantee that nobody has any trouble installing Django.

Thank you to Patreon supports like the following for helping me make this video

Is there any language you don't know Derek?😂 In every language I am trying to learn, your videos are always the first ones to pop up. Great job! Keep up the good work, and I hope your channel keeps growing!

For those of you having issues with the Django installation on Mac make sure you are pointing to "pip3" and not just "pip".... as you can see on the documentation pip refers to your 2.x (the one that comes pre-installed) python, so you will have to make it point to your downloaded version 3.5.x or whatever, the commands should be something like: pip3 --version or whatever you are trying to do !! I hope this saves you the 30 mins it took me to fix!! Thanks Derek !

hi Derek, looking forward to this tutorial series. I had a hobby project couple months ago but got stuck when trying to set up and upload coordinates from geodjango to a leaflet map. hope to give it a go again after these tutorials.

You are simply the best teacher. Thanks so much for that...
I got my coke & popcorn, installed all the Django stuff. It's time to learn..

Hi Derek, just wanted to mention that if you use Anaconda as your package manager you can do environments with that too and Anaconda has a nice interface built in. :)

I am truly excited that you've started the long awaited django tutorial. Thanks. Any chance you plan on doing one for Grails framework in near future.

In the step where we create a virtualenv for our site, when a user is using Admin mode in CMD, it gives out errors. So just try to run CMD without admin. Nice tutorial, following all of them :)

[DarkMysteries]

Derek, Why not make one of your OS choice be linux? I should say i am really grateful for all these videos. It's a great help especially to the developing world where it is hard to find good teachers. (Their pay is so low that even the ones who love yo teach can't choose it as a profession)

Since this series is called learn to program, can you teach how different programming languages can be used together with python to make a software. As beginner myself I don't know how real life software are actually made, and probably other beginners to programming feel the same. Even though I know syntax I still feel like programming is magic. For example with using python and c, do you compile c and include python functions, etc.

Maybe even include github, and how to learn from other people's code, and contributing.

I love your videos, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see what else you are going to do in this series. As a beginner to programming I am thrilled.

Thanks for spending time replying to the comments Derek. I'm currently reading an interesting book that I thought you might be interested in called "Seven Mobile Apps in Seven Weeks". I was wondering if you would be able to cover app development over various platforms. For example: iOS, Mobile Web, Android, Universal Windows Platform, as well as cross-platform tools like RubyMotion, Xamarin, and React Native. I know that's a lot to cover and please don't feel like you need to cover it all. It's just you haven't looked at app development for a while and it'd be cool to learn a bit more about them :) Hope that makes sense.

After all the amazing Python tutorials I'm glad to see Derek tackle Django! :)

[edilsonrj]

Dude! you don't know how long I've been waiting for this! Thanks!

[theslyda]

Thank you, I will be watching all the videos in the django series.

[clevertechie]

You speak so well Derek, I have a long way to go lol.

[igorgayvoronsky]

I'm sure it will be great tutorial series! I'm waiting for this as all other subscribers and thank you Derek for Django lessons! Yayyy!!! :)

Derek my friend! I gotta apologize to you man! I learnt Django with Corey Shafer's series. It's the first time I learnt a piece of technology fully without your video.
