Learn how to code web apps and get on the path to building your next side project, your lifestyle business, or your startup.

Updated for Django 3.2.

Hello Web App is written for non-programmers by a designer, and will walk you through every step you need before launching your web app live to real customers. No jargon, simple and friendly language, using the Python programming language and the Django framework.

This book doesn't walk you through a specific tutorial, but instead uses a generic example (a \"collection of things\") to allow you to create something that interests you. A blog is a collection of posts, a store is a collection of products, a directory is a collection of people. The possibilities are endless.

Learn by doing—creating a project unique to you while teaching yourself how to build a web app.
