Official Django Polls — Companion Videos

A guided walkthrough of Django's own tutorial

Free companion videos for Django's official polls tutorial — building the classic app end to end, one part at a time.

23 lessons

Django's official tutorial builds a small polls application, and it's still the best on-ramp to the framework. This free video series walks through it end to end, so you can watch each piece come together instead of only reading it.

You build the polls app from an empty project, wiring up views, models, the admin site, templates, forms, and tests along the way — the batteries-included Django workflow, shown rather than described.

What it covers

  • Requests and views
  • Models and the admin site
  • Templates and URL namespacing
  • Forms and generic views
  • Automated testing
  • Static files
  • Customising the admin
