---

The Django web framework simplifies creating websites and REST APIs through a wide variety of built-in features. In this course, you'll learn how to use some of these built-in features to create websites and apps.
You'll start by installing the Django web framework inside a virtual environment. You'll then explore Django's out-of-the-box features, including the project structure, the shell, and the built-in admin app.
Next, you'll build a Hello World website using a custom Django app. This process includes defining a URL that maps to a view, which then returns an HTTP response that can be viewed from a browser.
Moving on, you'll explore the use of Django templates, which includes the use of base and derived templates.
Finally, you'll work with the built-in admin app, examining how to administer users and groups and assign permissions.
