A practice-first summer-training course that takes you from the web foundation to shipping a full-stack Django application. You start with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap, then learn Python properly and build real Django apps: models and the ORM, templates, forms, authentication, the admin, signals and caching, and REST APIs with Django REST Framework. You finish with payments, testing, deployment, and a complete e-commerce capstone. Every module ends in something you build and a checkpoint that proves you learned it.
