Full-stack Python framework with "batteries included" philosophy offering powerful ORM, automatic admin and built-in security. MVT (Model-View-Template) architecture with Django ORM, migration system, complete authentication and rich ecosystem for building REST APIs with Django REST Framework and scalable web applications.
Modern Python with type hints, async views and optimized performance
Django ORM with QuerySets, complex relationships and automatic migrations
Auto-generated and customizable admin interface for data management
Django REST Framework for REST APIs with serializers and viewsets
Robust Authentication & Authorization with User model, permissions and groups
Powerful template engine with inheritance, filters and custom tags
Forms and ModelForms with automatic validation and error messages
Middleware pipeline for security, CSRF, CORS and request processing
Comprehensive testing (unittest, pytest-django, fixtures, factories)
Security by default (CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, clickjacking protection)
The most important concepts to understand this technology and ace your interviews
Python: decorators, context managers, generators, async/await, type hints
Django architecture: MVT pattern, settings.py, apps, middleware pipeline
Models: fields, relationships (ForeignKey, ManyToMany, OneToOne), Meta options
Django ORM: QuerySets, filter/exclude, select_related/prefetch_related, aggregations
Migrations: makemigrations, migrate, custom migrations, data migrations
Views: function-based views (FBV), class-based views (CBV), generic views
Django REST Framework: Serializers, ViewSets, Routers, authentication
DRF advanced: nested serializers, custom fields, pagination, filtering
URL routing: path(), re_path(), include(), URL parameters, namespaces
Templates: template inheritance, filters, tags, context processors
Forms: Form, ModelForm, validation, custom validators, formsets
Authentication: User model, login/logout, permissions, custom user model
Authorization: permissions (is_authenticated, permissions), groups, decorators (@login_required)
Middleware: request/response cycle, custom middleware, ordering
Admin: ModelAdmin, inlines, list_display, search_fields, customization
Signals: pre_save, post_save, pre_delete, custom signals, receivers
Testing: TestCase, fixtures, factories (factory_boy), mocking, coverage
Security: CSRF tokens, XSS prevention, SQL injection, secure settings
Performance: select_related, prefetch_related, database indexing, caching (Redis, Memcached)
Celery: async tasks, beat scheduler, workers, task routing
Deployment: WSGI/ASGI (Gunicorn, Uvicorn), static files, Docker, environment config
