Django Design Principles:

  • Less Coding − Less code so in turn a quick development.
  • Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) − everything should be developed only in exactly one place instead of repeating it again and again.
  • Fast Development − Django’s philosophy is to do all it can to facilitate hyper-fast development.
  • Clean Design − Django strictly maintains a clean design principle. throughout its own code and makes it easy to follow best web-development practices.
  • Loosely Coupled − Django aims to make each element of its stack independent of the others.

How to start Django Project:

Step 1: django-admin startproject mysite
Step 2: python manage.py startapp webapp
Step 3: To create the first view,
Open the file webapp/views.py

The view returns an HttpResponse object that contains the generated response. Each view function is responsible for returning an HttpResponse object.
Step 4: In the next step to specify the root, URLconf at the webapp/urls.py path,
we need to write:

Step 5: To run the app, we have to write:
$ Python manage.py runserver
Step 6: For migration, to create the tables in the database, we need to write the command:
$ Python manage.py migrate
Step 7: To create the models we will write:

here we have created models for Question, Choice and Board.
