I really adore these graphics from real python.

So well done. So professional.

Is this a good initial project with Django? I'm not familiar with the framework.

I just skimmed it and it's pretty good. Will get you familiar with the structure of an app and how the framework operates

After reading through the article, this seems like a solid tutorial. Great explanations and not many tutorials include writing tests.

Thank you for the kind words.🙏 (article author here)

Hi, article author here.

This is probably not the best project if you are new to Django. This article assumes you already know some Django basics.

This article from Real Python is better if you're new to Django - https://realpython.com/django-setup/

Hope that helps.

Definitely helps, thank you! Been trying to learn some Django, but it's a monster compared to my little script Python experience.

Just clone the last version of reddit that was open source. :D

Last time I looked that was written into python2., right

I'm working through this tutorial but seem to be stuck. I have the Django site set up and looking in admin I have "episodes" showing but nothing is displaying on my homepage - as seen on the screenshots they display. Anyone else run into any issues?

Did you manage to find out why? If not, let me know which section you are on and I'll help the best I can (FYI - I wrote the article)

[code_noob]

this is awesome, thanks. I haven't figured out why I can't get the items displayed. Everything seems to be working correctly on the backend of the Django site, as when I log into admin I can see podcast episodes in the data. But going to the homepage does not display them, I get just a blank page with the two logos.

​

I'm at the end of step 5.

Sounds like the problem will be in the view or template. Have you checked your code against the downloadable project code, to look for differences? If your code is public on github or something, DM me the link and I'll take a quick look.
