Can you create a WhatsApp group or telegram group please

ColeDrain:


Sounds cool.

Abcruz:


Nairaland would have been better so that new comers can benefit from the knowledge of the previous comments.

1.from django.db import models

2.class Question(models.Model):
3.  question_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
4.  pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')

5.class Choice(models.Model):
6.  question = models.ForeignKey(Question, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
7.  choice_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
8.  votes = models.IntegerField(default=0)

from django.contrib import admin

from .models import Question

admin.site.register(Question)

(venv) C:\Users\Owner\PycharmProjects\mysite\mysite\mysite>py manage.py runserver
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe: can't open file '
manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

(venv) C:\Users\Owner\PycharmProjects\mysite\mysite\mysite>


any help concerning this

ColeDrain:


You need to go back one directory by typing:
cd..(yeah with the 2 fullstop)
Then type py manage.py runserver

ColeDrain:


Hmm, you make a point, and WhatsApp may be a bit stressful esp using mobile(for me to type codes...)

I will stick to nairaland guys

ColeDrain:
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)
