WEB DEVELOPMENT IN PYTHON USING DJANGO

How to Create a Project in Django

✅ Step-by-Step:

🔹 Step 1: Install Django


Make sure Python is installed (version 3.8+ recommended). Then install Django
using pip:
pip install django
Check version:
django-admin --version

🔹 Step 2: Create a New Django Project


Use django-admin to start a new project. Replace myproject with your desired
project name:
django-admin startproject myproject
This creates a folder like this:
myproject/
manage.py
myproject/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
asgi.py
wsgi.py

🔹 Step 3: Navigate to Your Project Directory


cd myproject

🔹 Step 4: Run the Development Server


python manage.py runserver
Visit in browser:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
You should see the default “It worked!” Django page.

🔹 Step 5: Create a Django App


Each project can have multiple apps (modules). Let’s create an app called blog:
python manage.py startapp blog
Folder structure:
blog/
admin.py
apps.py
models.py
views.py
tests.py
...

🔹 Step 6: Add the App to settings.py


Open myproject/settings.py, and add 'blog' to the INSTALLED_APPS list:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'blog',
]

🔹 Step 7: Create a Simple View


In blog/views.py:
from django.http import HttpResponse

def home(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, Django!")

🔹 Step 8: Map the View to a URL


In blog/urls.py (create this file if it doesn't exist):
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name='home'),
]
Then include this blog.urls file in the main urls.py (in myproject/urls.py):
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('blog.urls')), # This links your app
]

🔹 Step 9: Run the Server Again


python manage.py runserver
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ → You should see:
“Hello, Django!”

✅ Summary Commands:
pip install django
django-admin startproject myproject
cd myproject
python manage.py startapp blog
# Edit settings.py to add 'blog'
# Add URLs and views
python manage.py runserver
