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?
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.
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.
Next step? The (free, online and excellent) Django book.
