Not sure if this was said or not but that's Rodin's The Thinker (the prop you mention). I know this because I 100% related. Overthinking is my go-to. Ha.
If I could make a full Django tutorial that was only 20 minutes long I would. Django's concepts are easy enough to grasp on a basic level but if you want to build something real, it takes hours to truly explain 1 full project. From there, it's going to take anyone hours (as Dennis is essentially saying) to even get comfortable building it on your own. I totally agree that you should find 1 project, improve several times on your own, and then move to another project. Concepts are great but projects put the concepts into context (ie where you actually use them) so the goal should be to make as many real projects as possible. To truly master learning web app development, as I'm sure Dennis would agree, you have to then turn around and teach it. That will make you clarify your thoughts and well as drill down in what you really know. Further, it can help others learn too. The world needs more developers. We cannot leave it in the hands of a few otherwise all the software we get will be the same. We need YOUR unique perspective. Dennis you rock. Keep going. Thanks for showing others what they can do.
Yea I found out from comments a bit after I posted :) And thank you Justin, I always try to give you and a few other dev-tubers credit when I can. You guys were my inspiration :)
@Free Speech Something I'll have to put together a video on because its a common question. Personally I've never scaled anything to that size but have dealt with it. I'll need to do more research before I teach on it though.
Started with Corey as I have subscribed to him for long. From then, django documentations, many-many separate videos from a lot of different creators taking a small bite from each. I hope to repay them all once.
My approach to python, flask and django was very similar. Didnt particularly like the content in my bootcamp so I found Corey Shafer and learned from his 2 great series on flask and django, built along with him, watched maybe 3/4 times and then branched off to make a nice recipes app in flask and a bugtracker app with django, when i got stuck used mostly SO and docs. He didnt go very deep into database tables and querying so had to figure that stuff out myself, but it was fun. And like you I had course deadlines to push me on.
Awesome to hear similar stories! Yea building different projects gives you an entirely different perspective. And django has some of the best documentation I have ever seen :)
@@DennisIvy yooooo I’m in the same boat, I regret choosing my bootcamp that I currently gave up on. I found Corey’s series and was able to learn so much more from him. After that came Dennis and I’ve learned a ton more as well 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Dennis! After wathing your video I started to learn django... It took me 7 days to understand how django works... After a month I'm able to develop my own projects... Still learning many more...So Guys don't give up...
Dennis - Thank you for the insight and great videos. I've started on a similar path and without teachers like you it would not be possible. Still lots to learn. Programming has really taught me discipline and how to breakdown complex problems into small digestible chunks. I also take a project/goal based approach which helps me to learn the essential elements and weed out the noise. Thanks again.
Thank you, Sir Dennis! Once I'm able to master Django and have my set of projects, I'll update you. Thank you for inspiring young developers, like me, to take the step forward!
@@DennisIvy Hi, is it ok to learn django from the sources that you have mentioned as the lectures that were uploaded are dated 4 yrs ago, and many things have changed
I am using the same strategies for adapting to Django as you. As a backend Developer the hardest part is to make a theme. What a dream it would be if everyone goes to terminal use again. Frontend work is scary :D
Me coming to your channel while following Corey Schafer series to reference more on things I dont know. Thank you very much, you both great teachers (Y).
You seem like a nice guy; it's really great to see you on screen and letting your personality through. I think a lot of people take for granted all the hard work people like you put into making content on TH-cam. I'm just curious, what kinds of things were you coding before Django? It sounds like you went diving right into Django first thing after learning python, so what was your background?
I knew Dennis through Traversy Media. Both of you are great teachers! I really like your content. Thanks for your a lot of project tutorials. They helps me a lot!
Hey Dennis thank you so much for the videos, I've learned more from your videos than other TH-camrs. Would really like to see some videos on django-storage (cloud storage/remote storage) options, leaflet, and a video on datatables. Cheers and keep up the good work.
see my brother this is called progress. you got now 10k plus subscribe all because of your hardwork and information content. looking forward more beautiful contents. thank you so much.
Awesome video, I started to learn Django but stopped because of other things I needed to learn, For me Bash is a must, and Then Python refresher then Django, I realized that It's a very powerful framework. Thanks
great video I was watching a 7 and half our video to learn a project then I realize that I was not learning much and I was confused in some place and forgetting so I was looking for a video and your video come up thanks man.
I agree with you 100%. The way I learned django was just doing a project and using stackoverflow, official docs, and reading articles I searched on google. In the process, I also learned CI/CD with CircleCI lol.
I am really following what you just said in this video. I learned from MDN Django tutorial recently and was able to create my own project of book distribution web app with request processing, feedback and searching. I did this in a month and right now working on the designing of the web app. Though i wasn't able to implement my search as Ajax cause i have to submit this as my project in college tomorrow. But i loved your idea of implementing this in a To-do app. Thanks for inspiring. I will create a to-do app next.
Great advice. If you have a deadline that you have to build your own app from scratch in 3 months that will also help. I just started with django. I followed a 1 hour cours of Mosh and then I bought his course for 47 dollars. Now I’m doing that course. Following steps. I will follow your advice and after the course try to break the code down and add my own features. Next I will try to make my own app. Thanks for breaking it down.
I did the same thing when learning Laravel. I must have built 5 different types of Laravel applications before I was comfortable with the framework. The same goes with any framework. You just have to build build build until you get it.
thank you so much man, you gave me a million dollar suggestion. can you make video like how should i start django and roadmap to django learning for websites and APP BUILDING?
Your instructions are very realistic and appropriate for developers. I noted every points. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am sure it is going to help me & others a lot.
Actually he is not talking about django at all, Django is about database interactions and server communications, I don't know where he got that "to do app" to build with Django, where that can be just 1% of the django capabilities.
I have watched both Corey's and Coding Entrepreneurs 's lectures and believe me they were the only you tube videos which made some sense to me as a beginner. Im glad my choices were good.😁
I think having a group of people with similar python skills and following the same course online and then meeting every week to discuss will also help than only doing it alone. But it is very very difficult to find a group of people that are commited and want to hold you accountable. So if you find these people hold on to them.
Nice video :) and in case you find some time to educate yourself on matters besides coding: "The guy sitting there and thinking very deeply" is one of the most famous sculptures in the world: "The Thinker" by Rodin. It has a rich history of reception associated with it."
ive been learning python for almost 6 months(its my first-ish language, i have some rudimentary experience programming PHP and java). I feel like i grasp a lot of concepts, but i need more practice doing projects. Think redoing tutorials solo is a really great idea, I will most definitely try that and make my own variations which i have done in some tutorials. I think he learned the basics in a short period, but i'd like to give my 2 cents... Learn at your own pace! He obviously has experience and needed to learn this for work. I didn't, if i had learned python any faster i would have been burned out and frustrated very early on(i almost was XD). I have tried learning PHP and java but got very frustrated early on, so take your time to stay motivated and stick with it! Also having a good community to answer questions/fix bugs is vital!
Hi Dennis Ivy, First in first thanks for your advice. Can you please tell me that In which course, you were taught to build a twitter clone? As you discussed in your video at 3:23, You provide every link but did not provide any link regarding this. Please reply. Thanks.

Mark my words; this guy giving due credits to the teachers he learned from is one of the factor that determines that he will be successful
I appreciate that :)
Agreed. Says a lot about character and integrity. These thing are highly valuable in business, and to employers - more than most people realize.
Yes, Thats true
True .
its good to respect teachers where we learned and credit them dont forget your origin where you are from and where are you on....

'Building from memory and documentation' is the best advice I have ever gotten from someone.
Started with Corey as I have subscribed to him for long. From then, django documentations, many-many separate videos from a lot of different creators taking a small bite from each. I hope to repay them all once.
The same. I think Corey is the best teacher. No need bootcamp like Udemy's or other. I started with flask tuto, and I finished with Django.
Great video! It seems like there isn’t a lot of Django content on TH-cam. But this video can really apply to any framework / language.
Thank you Steven :) yes it definitely can

• Super admin manages multiple schools
• Admin user manages respective school
• Admin ca create other user for the respective school
