In this second edition, you’ll go on a fun, practical, and pragmatic journey to learning full-stack development with Django 5. You’ll start building your first Django app within minutes.

Additionally, you’ll use Django to develop a movie store application and deploy it to the internet.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy your own Django web applications confidently.
