Is there a 'hello world' website for django? OR (I've installed django, now what)?

I'm learning Python and decided to start familiarizing myself with the (defacto?) Python web framework - django.

I have successfully installed the latest release of django. I want a simple 'hello world' website that will get me up and running quickly. I am already familiar with web frameworks (albeit for different languages) - so I just need a simple 'hello world' example website to help me get going.

Ideally, I don't want to mess up with my Apache server settings (as I am still experimenting), so I want to use the lightweight web server that django bundles. I cant seem to find how to do this on the django website though - no doubt someone will post a link and shame me ...

So, does anyone know of a link that shows how to get a simple 'hello world' django website up and running with minimal fuss?

What website is built with Django?

The web framework of Python — Django is an excellent solution for building scalable web applications. Such companies as Instagram, Pinterest, Mozilla, Spotify, Eventbrite, and National Geographic use Django apps.

How do I know if Django is installed?

After the installation has completed, you can verify your Django installation by executing django-admin --version in the command prompt. Changed in Django 1.7: In Django 1.7, a .exe has been introduced, so just use django-admin in place of django-admin.py in the command prompt.
