One of the most powerful features of Django is its Object-Relational Mapper (ORM). In a Django project, the Django ORM provides the tools to rapidly build database interactions without needing to learn Structured Query Language (SQL). This course teaches you how to master database interactions using the Django ORM to build scalable and performant Django applications.

This course is currently in its first iteration and presents 1 of 3 planned levels. At level 1, you will learn how to build, administrate tables and perform common Create, Return, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations through the Django ORM. The courseware at level 1 scaffolds the learning, building towards a final case study where we first design and subsequently develop and query the database. Learners may track their knowledge through optional section assessments leading towards a final level assessment (section and level assessments are a feature coming very soon).

We believe that to master Django database interactions and performance, it can be beneficial to underpin knowledge, learning to interact with a database from a Django project through raw SQL queries. Subsequently, learners may follow optional tutorials learning the underlying SQL used to interact with a database and perform operations.

I hope you enjoy the course and fulfil your learning objective. Don’t forget to visit us on our YouTube Channel, Very Academy, where you can further interact with the community and explore other free supplementary content.
