Learn Django bit by bit in this series

A companion code repo for a YouTube Django tutorial series, not a standalone learning resource. It's a snapshot of finished code across several mini-apps (blog, courses, products) intended to be followed alongside video lectures.

Shows real Django app structure with models, views, forms, templates, and migrations all in place — good reference when you're stuck mid-tutorial. The multi-app layout (blog, courses, products) covers enough variation to see how Django's app pattern scales. Migrations are committed, so you can actually run the project and see it work rather than guessing at the schema.

Pinned to Django 2 / Python 3.6, both long past end-of-life — nothing here reflects modern Django (class-based views are minimal, no async, no type hints). The README is a single line pointing nowhere; if you haven't watched the videos, the code is context-free. No tests worth mentioning — the test files exist but are empty stubs. Last touched in 2023 but the actual content is from 2018, so the gap between the code and current Django best practices is significant.
