About this course

HTML templates and database access play integral roles in modern web development, providing tools to enhance website structure, presentation, and responsiveness. HTML templates serve as the backbone for web pages, defining the document structure and content while database integration serves to make your app serve dynamic, personalized content. Begin this course by adding life to your Django apps with dynamic content. Real apps invariably rely on user input, so you will learn to weave data from Python functions into your HTML templates using template parameters. Then you will use dynamic named URLs to add links between your app's pages. You will use generative AI tools and template inheritance to reduce boilerplate HTML code. Next, you will style and theme your application using Bootstrap templates. Finally, you will dive into data models with Django, using Django's built-in SQLite database and object-relational mapper. You will create a class representing a table and evolve your database schema using migrations.

Use these 15 Django Interview Questions to Prepare for Your Next Technical Interview

If you’re looking for career opportunities in web development, learning Django is one way to get your foot in the door. Not only is it a powerful tool for developing scalable web applications, but it’s also a skill hiring managers look for when filling open roles on their web development teams. But before you land your next dream role, you’ll need to get through the interview process.

When it comes to getting ready for the technical interview, any amount of time you spend going over potential questions you might be asked, the better prepared you’ll be. You can do this in a few different ways. You can do a mock interview and have a friend or family member ask you questions in a similar setup to how your real interview will be (for example, if you’ll be interviewing over Zoom, set up your mock interview over Zoom too), or you can practice answering questions out loud on your own. Writing out your answers to typical interview questions can also be good practice if you want to give that a try. 

To help you prepare to answer Django interview questions, here are 15 practice questions and tips on how to answer them.
