009 A Fresh Virtualenv Django

Launch your business by learning to build your own eCommerce app step-by-step.

What used to take a big team of people can now be accomplished by you and you alone. It’s all thanks to the massive improvements to what programming languages can do. Python is the perfect beginner’s starting point because it’s simple to understand while being powerful enough for experts to build self-driving cars and AI systems.

This course leverages Python to build a fully functioning eCommerce website and application using the Django framework.

Why Django and why now?

Django is built for speed. Both in functionality and in development time.
Some of the top tech companies are build on Django: Instagram and Pinterest to name a couple.
Django is written in Python and therefore it helps you further master Python.
Huge support from developers around the world. Run into an issue with something in python or Django? A quick google search will likely yield an answer (if not, I’ll try to help you out too)
Python is the easiest to start with AND it’s made for the pros (such as building Artificial Intelligence)
