Welcome To : Django Database ORM Mastery

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 helps you start your journey mastering database interactions using the Django ORM to build scalable and performant Django applications.

This course is currently in its first iteration and includes level 1 of 3 planned levels. Each level will be a separate course. You will find subsequent levels in our course library for levels 2 and 3 of this course. 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).
