Okay let's get our laptops or PC's ready.
To be able to use django we need to install Python software, being a Python Web framework, Django requires Python.

So get the latest Python software from https://www.python.org/downloads/

P:S
After downloading the installer, you should run it (double-click on it) and follow the instructions there.

One thing to watch out for: During the installation, you will notice a window marked "Setup". Make sure you tick the "Add Python to PATH" or 'Add Python to your environment variables" checkbox and click on "Install Now",

I'm seated!

You are welcome man.

Okay let me give an introduction to Django.

Django is a free and open source web application framework, written in Python.

A web framework helps you to develop websites faster and easier. Frameworks exist to save you from having to reinvent the wheel. So instead of spending weeks on creating a website, Django reduces it to days..

Django is:

1.Ridiculously fast.

2.Reassuringly secure.

3.Exceedingly scalable(Can grow and handle increasing load)

Now that we are at home.. Instead of whiling away time.. We could pick up a skill. So I am offering to show us how we can create websites using Python programming language through the Django web framework..

Prerequisites:
1. Know fundamentals of Python programming language.
2. Knowledge of HTML, CSS, JS(not really needed).
3. Your dedication, patience, interest and support..
4. A little knowledge of how the web works(I may explain this tho)

Oh! Yes, your laptops or PC's are needed to follow along.

If I can get at least ten interested folks I will start, please do indicate if interested, I am all out for you guys..

P:S
We will create a:
1. Poll website
2. Nairaland clone
3. Chat website
4. Facebook clone

Nawa oh

Happy New Year Fam.... We are still here. Just checking in on y'all.

So looking to open a whatsapp group so that you guys can get help and answers real time and also easily link up with any Corp members in your state. Eg: if you have just arrived at camp and need a question answered real quick...that type of scenario. If I get 20 or more people show aq, I will open it. Just let me know. Tag me with your number!!! It should be a platform that can help with job opportunites, further education (home and abroad) CV building and mentoring, etc

Thank you for starting this thread, it has giving me a view of what to expect/know...
Can't believe you are still active on the thread since 2015... Bless you.

I am interested in the WhatsApp group: 09066670543

I don't know what to believe again.

God please I pray that the truth be made known, let the guilty one be punished.

Hmm, the little boy has Down Syndrome and the mum will soon go to rest(but I believe in miracles) . Sometimes I say life is unfair but the truth still remains God knows best. Let's pray.
