You have just finished the Django poll tutorial, and you don’t know what should be your next step? Or are you looking for inspiration to improve your recently acquired Django skills?
Don’t you worry, as I’ve listed down the best Django tutorials I have found when I was still learning. Here they are:
A proper blog, by Corey Schafer
Yes, we know there are a lot of Django tutorials focused on blogs. But this one does it professionally. Deploying, AWS, enabling SSL certifications, users management, etc.

Many people use Anaconda to write Python code. But it is so cumbersome for small scripts and hard to manage.
Instead, we can create our own virtual environments (like our own world) where we only have the packages we want to install.
In about 6 minutes we will be creating a Python virtual environment with Pipenv.
What we will learn here
In this video you will learn how to:
- What Virtual Environments are
- Why we use them
- How to create our own Virtual Environment
- To install packages on our Virtual Environment
- How to create a small project from our Virtual Environment

When I started programming, I was impressed by the number of programming languages.
Maybe you are in the same spot I was.
If you were, I wrote a guide to help you to pick your first programming language.
Picking the proper language for you: My case
I started learning to code 6 years ago with C. Until the next month where I (well, my class) moved to C++. Then PHP. And Javascript. All in 3 months.
And when I said I started learning, I mean we barely knew how to program after 3 months.
Why? Because when we learn the basics of one language, we moved to the…
I’m doing my 5th #100DaysOfCode, this time, learning Node.JS.
Why it is so special? Because I’m doing another challenge at the same time. And I’ll be spending 6 hours a day doing both challenges. Yep.
What is #100DaysOfCode?
In case you don’t know what the 100DaysOfCode is, let me give you a brief explanation.
100DaysOfCode is a public commitment where you swear that you are going to learn some coding concept (A new language, framework, tool, etc) for the next 100 days, at least 1 hour each day.
You made it public so you feel pushed to do it. You can also tell…
After a successful first #100DaysOfCode challenge learning Vue.js and a not-so-successful failed the second and third one, I just started my fourth challenge.
As I have learnt from my mistakes (more than from success), I’m using a new learning approach and I’m learning faster and better than before. Want to know how?
What is #100DaysOfCode?
Before anything, let me explain what it is the #100DaysOfCode challenge.
#100DaysOfCode is a public commitment where you swear publicly that you are going to spend at least 1-hour coding daily, for the next 100 days. The time you code at your job doesn’t count towards this.

IMHO, helping people struggling is something you should do. Period. Especially they struggle with something that is hard (i.e.: programming) and you can solve, in seconds, something that would take them hours, if not days, to solve.
But…did you know that by helping others, you also improve your skills as a programmer? Let’s learn how!
An example: My case
Let me start with an example: Something that happened at my job.
I work with a lot of people, but I have 2 people I interact a lot with Programmer A and Programmer B.
Our Programmer A has lots of years of experience, has been…
There is a lot of books for learning Django for beginners, but what about for those that want to level up?
If you have been using Django for a while, your average “Let’s build a blog/newspaper” may fall short. Thankfully we have “Django for Professionals”
Introduction — What’s Django for Professionals?
There are a lot of books to start learning Django right now. Beginners and even non-programmers can pick it up in hours, thanks to the Django structure, the Python English-like syntax and a few Django tips here and there.
But…what if you are past that? …
Original post Python Scrapy tutorial for beginners — 05 — How to use Scrapy Items
The goal of scraping is to extract data from websites. Without Scrapy Items, we return unstructured data in the form of Python dictionaries: An easy way to introduce typos and return faulty data.
Luckily, Scrapy provides us with the Item class: A class we can inherit to make our data more structured and stronger, yielding a Python object.
In this post you will learn how to:
- Create Scrapy Items
- Use them to return a structured object
