I my self am learning Python and at a pretty advanced stage. I have to learn how to work with variables and how to use them to my advantage, and many many other stuff. Just remember you can do what ever you want in life if you really want it and it is your passion, you need to try for the things you want in life, if you really want to learn it then you can learn it. And remember to never give up, and never call your self a bad programmer, a bad programmer would be someone who doesn't no what print( "Test") does, if you know the code and what you are writing then you no what you are doing. Remember never give up.

Wow this guy is a great teacher. I really like how he stops to respond to questions you basically were about to ask him before you have to haha.

I'm a beginner in Django. Thank you for giving a small slice viewing some of the things that are under the cover of this framework. I like your advice at the end (practice, read docs, get better with python)

great video. im totally new to web frameworks and its hard finding a tutorial for the big picture rather than the details of django. this was that video

[iconictoonschannel]

Nice. Coming from a ZERO Django/Py backgroud, great into. Will come back to this once I get into it a bit more.

[ZNYAZO]

l like your tutorials they are so great and easy to follow. By any chance do you have a Tutorial on Object Oriented Programming in Python (OOP)? or do you know a site which offers one? Thank you

[mikedugas]

Summary of the first 8 minutes: Python is great.  Read the tutorial to get started.  OK, now you can get back 8 minutes of your life.

Because it helps you to put a website(s) together in a concise way. If you've never had experience in putting a site together, it's hard to explain. It's not the design of the site, as far as what each page looks like (although that's part of it to an extent), it's separating the parts of the site to different files and having them hook up to each other. There are all kinds of different web frameworks in Python and other languages that make it easier to put a site together.

Brilliant vid. Great trainer, as theprevious commenter noted. I did get lost at 50:06, but I think that was partly his intention. Great stuff!

[keerthanadevanand]

Such a great video! just the thing i needed to get started with django. it gives you such a good overview of all the basics. loved it! two thumbs up.

[przemyslawmackowiak]

Excellent video. Ideas of view, model, template were explained very well.
Thanx !!!

[jassu]

Best Django tutorial walkthrough I had ever seen. (Y)

[TechMetalPenguin]

This is awesome, I'm watching it again. It's probably a good idea to follow Django's official tutorial before watching this video (and also have at least some prior exposure to Python).

[purplefan]

Great talk! Very useful for those who are starting out!
