Last time in Django: First M, T, and V we covered all the parts of our Model View Template design pattern, pointed Django to the right view, and launched our development server to see what we have created so far. We also created another app within our project folder and changed some of the files […]
Last time in Django: Getting Started we covered virtual environments and their installation. We used Pycharm’s IDE and git version control to work on our project and track our changes. We started our project with Django admin and covered what goes into a Django project. We also learned a little bit about Django’s MTV design […]

Do some minor googling on the issue though and you quickly find that not only does the debate exist but that plenty […]
Welcome to Vox Anguis! This cross between a guide and a blog about getting started with coding came about in the (very) early days of my own journey into the world of programming languages and software development. Originally typed up as random docs in my google drive, I am now publishing these posts for other […]
