Episode notes
Django as a Web Framework
- Django is a web framework that provides building blocks to handle common web tasks like requests, views, templates, and database interaction.
- It saves developers from rebuilding core functionality and lets them focus on what makes their site unique.
Batteries Included vs Micro-frameworks
- Django follows a "batteries included" philosophy, providing most components out of the box unlike micro-frameworks.
- This tradeoff offers faster productivity and less need to track multiple third-party packages.
Choose Django For Productivity
- Consider using Django if you want to focus on building your application rather than hunting for third-party packages.
- Django's integrated components help you be productive quickly with less setup and searching.
