Remember not to sell yourself short. While you can start with Django early, take the time to go back to python and really improve your skills. A lot of the errors I see people have are not even Django related but rather their lack of python knowledge.

I learnt some python basics, created a small app with tkinter but didn't like how it looked. Googled how to make a more modern app, decided to use Django and shortly after found Dennis Ivy and Corey Schafer. I followed both of their courses making both apps, then I started over making the app I wanted. I started in march and almost finished the app which will be used at my place of work, resulting in a significant payrise. Thank you Dennis 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I am sure that within 1 or 2 months, your channel will be one of the best python channels on YouTube,
Respect brother, and i like your simplicity

[quocbao]

Discovering your channel is a huge push for me in my Django journey my man. Your courses went to a lot of things that either new or confused me. I love the fact that you also list other channels or books that you learnt from in your own journey. They really helped alot. A true inspiration. Thanks so much.

I always thought that I knew very less Python but after watching this video I think, that I am halfway already, by the way thanks for the video very less developers are as good as you the quality of the video is too good.

Keep it up, never stop uploading. 😅❤️

[oOcitizenOo]

Yes! That's the video i wanted you to make! Several videos ago i wrote a comment about this issue since i didn't know if i should learn Python from newbie to advanced level before getting started with Django.
Thanks!;)

[MrJboy]

i just love how pationate you are in giving one a reson of hope to learn. keep up the good work.... just got the two books.

[skzsandmouse]

I'm literally into my a month and a half mark learning python and I'm trying to find a way to create an actual project outside of the simple python scripts. Your insight has really helped me figure out a starting point at least which, let me tell you, is extremely difficult to know on your own. Thank you.

[RezaDirgantara]

Finally after doing research for one week, I found the solution for my path before deeping in django. Thank for your time buddy 👍👍

[neocheung]

Thanks Dennis ! I learned python by myself about 3 months but I really don't know how long and how far I have to learn more on python. I appreciate to watch this kind of videos to give me a concern about how many kills I have to learn before I start my own project ! Thanks you so much

[RunyCalmera]

Thanks man. I already know all you tell. I got also automating boring stuff under my belt.

I love your honesty. All those simple exercises are things that I’ve dabbled in with PHP for years but never really dove into programming. You’ve made the journey plausible and absolutely doable. When I write my forthcoming app, I’ll be sure to share the news with you. Thanks Dennis. This is my second of your videos and you’ve earned a sub.

[jayhu]

Useful information to pick up for a beginner.
Keep healthy in these time where we live.
Thanks.

[mainstreammirage]

Like the way you went straight to the point . A lot of videos just say a lot without actually making any point. Thanks a lot man.

[youknowthat]

I watched many tutorials for learning django, but I pretty sure your the best.
KEEP DOING 👍

[antoniosaqueton]

One thing that was really eating at me was my inability to make sense how all these things tie with the frontend.
I recently took an online js course so instead of simply starting off with a simple standalone app.js file (as all tutorials would), I fired up my django dev server and added the app.js file to an app. I am by no means an expert, but I think trying to do that extra step of setting up your projects as if it were a production app would definitely speed up the learning process. I know I have learned a lot along the way.

[AmanSinghYT]

Hey, I'm able to make django functional but I'm not able to make the frontend look good, because of these templates I'm stuck in the frontend part. Specially the forms in django are hard to style for me. Can you tell how you made your website look so good. How to learn django the good way?

[levyaraujo]

I'm brazilian and I'm here learning Python and English with you man! Thanks for share this!

[AxmedShiimax]

I'm the kind of person who always try to learn everything in python. I was learning the basics of python for a 2 years and I built so many apps about Django but I don't know why every 6 months start learning the basics of python.

Thank you for the efforts of your video, it helped me ans saved my time of learning basics. I won't do it again.
