# Python Web Development with Django

Canonical URL: <https://www.nobledesktop.com/classes/python-django-development>

## Overview

Get started with Django, a Python web framework for back-end development. You’ll learn about URL dispatchers, querying models, and automating tasks with Django.

Once you've mastered Django fundamentals, the class will move on to Django REST, a Django framework, and cover how to work with images, authentication, and using API endpoints.

## What you'll learn

- Automate tasks with Python and Django
- Interact with APIs using REST
- Deploy projects to GitHub using Git
- Build a portfolio of projects throughout the course

## Prerequisites

Participants should have knowledge of Python programming fundamentals equivalent to those covered in our [Python Programming Bootcamp](/classes/python-programming-immersive).
