Django 6 transforms your workflow with major improvements to the Python web ecosystem—from expanded async support to improved form rendering, stronger security, and modern template and ORM capabilities. This book shows you how to take full advantage of these upgrades to build reliable, secure, and high-performance web applications in a structured, hands-on way. You’ll discover Django 6’s power by building an end-to-end case study of developing a website called Bookr, a repository for book reviews that mirrors real development workflows. Through guided practical exercises, you'll learn how to serve static files, implement forms using Django 6’s improved rendering system, handle async views and ORM operations, and manage sessions to create a seamless user experience. You’ll also tackle essential tasks such as authentication, security best practices, and integrating modern front-end tools. By the end of this Django book, you’ll be ready to build and deploy your own scalable, modern Python web applications using Django 6.What you will learn Start a new Django 6 project and define models using the improved ORM Work with function and class-based views using templates to control application behavior Implement authentication, permissions, and modern session handling techniques Create practical forms using Django 6's updated rendering API Build RESTful APIs and the JavaScript features that integrate with them Connect to PostgreSQL and run async-ready queries where supported Who this book is forThis book is for programmers who want to enhance their web development skills with Django 6. You’ll get the most out of it if you already know Python programming and are familiar with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. This book is especially useful for anyone looking to understand Django’s new async capabilities, modern security features, and production-ready web development patterns.

Learn how to create your own websites easily, securely, and quickly with Django by tackling practical activities based on realistic case studies. Key Features * Understand Django functionality and the Model-View-Template (MVT) paradigm * Create and iteratively build a book review website, adding features as you build your knowledge * Explore advanced concepts such as REST API implementation and third-party module integration Book Description Do you want to develop reliable and secure applications which stand out from the crowd, rather than spending hours on boilerplate code? Then Django framework is where you should begin. Often referred to as a 'batteries included' web development framework, Django comes with all the core features needed to build a standalone application. Web Development with Django takes this philosophy and equips you with the knowledge and confidence to build real-world applications using Python. This book starts with the essential concepts necessary to learn Django. Then we cover its major features by building a website called Bookr – a repository for book reviews. This end-to-end case study is split into a series of bitesize projects that are presented as exercises and activities, allowing you to challenge yourself in an enjoyable and attainable way. As you progress further, you'll learn various practical skills, including how to serve static files to add CSS, JavaScript, and images to your application, how to implement forms to accept user input, and how to manage sessions to ensure a reliable user experience. Throughout this book, you'll cover daily key tasks that are part of the development cycle of a real-world web application. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills and confidence to creatively develop and deploy your own projects with Django. What you will learn * Create a new application and add models to describe your data * Use views and templates to control behavior and appearance * Implement access control through authentication and permissions * Develop practical web forms to add features such as file uploads * Learn to develop a RESTful API and JavaScript code that communicates with it * Connect to a database such as PostgreSQL Who This Book Is For Programmers looking to enhance their web development skills using the Django framework. To fully understand the concepts explained in this book, basic knowledge of Python programming, as well as familiarity with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is assumed.
