About this course

In Django, data models are the essential building blocks for defining the structure and behavior of a web application's database. Utilizing an object-relational mapping (ORM) system, Django abstracts the database schema into Python classes, allowing developers to interact with the database using high-level, Pythonic syntax. Begin this course by logging into the Django Admin interface, your control center for modifying models, adding users, and performing other administrative actions. You will create a superuser and add a regular user. Next, you will use HTML templates and the associated Python code to dynamically pull data from the models based on user input. Then you will focus on deletion and deactivation of resources. Finally, you will add and modify data. You will create forms in your HTML templates and configure your code to modify resources based on the input. By the end of this journey, you will be well-versed in Django, with skills ranging from creating a user interface using HTML templates to managing data stored in backend databases.

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.
