Since its release in 2005, Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/) has grown to be the leading framework for developing web applications in Python. It is used by major sites such as Instagram, Disqus, and NASA.
This introduction to web programming with Python and Django presumes experience with basic server-side web development principles (in any language). The goal is to show how Django delivers solutions to many common problems and needs faced by web developers.
(Some developers call Python "executable pseudocode," meaning that it is relatively easy to read even if you haven't written it before. So if you lack Python experience, don't fear.)
During the session you will also see a simple site developed, from project skeleton to running web application.
