About

Sitting down with a coffee and reading a newspaper is pretty much a thing of the past. Most people today read the news on their laptops or phones, so online news websites are getting very popular. Some, like The New York Times, originate from offline press, but most new websites today were originally created as purely online resources, and they all share the same basic structure. In this project, you will use Django to create an online news web application.

Good project for beginners to understand core principles of the Django web framework and web frameworks in general. For more advanced practices close to "real life" development, you need to go in JavaScript, React and asynchronous programming in python

There was a lot to learn with this project. And I am glad I did it. Some of the specific tests are really hard to pass, but I think it teaches you to read and comprehend a traceback error.

I learned how to create a website that includes the creation and review of entities using a simple file-based system (instead of a database system). This includes automatically generating pages for each entity, and searching by keywords.
