About this event

This event is being held on Australian Eastern Standard Time. 

In this presentation, we will talk through the fundamental philosophy of the Python language, and discuss some of the reasons for its enormous popularity. We’ll look at a few of the most popular use-cases for Python, walk through setting up an all-purpose development environment, and examine a hands-on demonstration of setting up a simple web application using one of the most popular frameworks for Python: "Django". This will see us discussing:
  • MVC vs MVT web app paradigms
  • Data flow in a Django API
  • What Python/Django does for us, including
    • Managing our database with models
    • Sending and retrieving data between the frontend and the database using views.
    • Handling the presentation of data to the user with templates.

The second half of the Masterclass will include some practical code-along exercises.
