Which is the Best Django Course on YouTube in 2024 for Beginners?

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to dive into Django and start my journey as a Python developer. As a beginner, I'm hoping to find a free, high-quality Django course on YouTube that can walk me through the basics and help me build some beginner-friendly projects.

I've seen some options pop up, but it's hard to decide which one is the most up-to-date and beginner-friendly in 2024. If you've come across any YouTube creators or playlists that do a great job explaining Django from scratch, please let me know!

Bonus points if the course includes:

* Step-by-step tutorials
* Project-based learning
* Clear explanations of concepts like models, views, templates, and databases

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

FLASK/SQLite NIGHTMARE - Please help!

(UPDATE: THANK YOU! AFTER HOURS I FIGURED IT OUT)

Hey guys,

So I'm new to the whole web app thing, but I've been following this tutorial on how the basics work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dam0GPOAvVI

Here's the github for the code he's also used:
https://github.com/techwithtim/Flask-Web-App-Tutorial/tree/main

Basically, I feel like I've done GREAT so far, following along well. This is what I have managed to produce so far with working pages, routes, re-directs etc:

BUT... I've hit a complete and utter stop when it comes to putting this \^ data into the SQ Database.

This is the code I have for this area and all my other files copy the same names, as well as my html files:

u/auth.route('/register', methods='GET', 'POST')
def register():
if request.method == 'POST':
email = request.form.get('email')
username = request.form.get('username')
password1 = request.form.get('password1')
password2 = request.form.get('password2')

ASP.NET and Django. What's the difference?

I'd like to say that I'm not looking for an answer about which one is better, but that's a lie. However, this is subjective for everyone.

If there are anyone here who has experience with both ASP.NET and Django, please share your impressions.

P.S. I searched, but if anyone made a comparison, it was years ago!

Benchmark: DuckDB, Polars, Pandas, Arrow, SQLite, NanoCube on filtering / point queryies

While working on the NanoCube project, an in-process OLAP-style query engine written in Python, I needed a baseline performance comparison against the most prominent in-process data engines: DuckDB, Polars, Pandas, Arrow and SQLite. I already had a comparison with Pandas, but now I have it for all of them. My findings:

A purpose-built technology (here OLAP-style queries with NanoCube) written in Python can be faster than general purpose high-end solutions written in C.
A fully index SQL database is still a thing, although likely a bit outdated for modern data processing and analysis.
DuckDB and Polars are awesome technologies and best for large scale data processing.
Sorting of data matters! Do it! Always! If you can afford the time/cost to sort your data before storing it. Especially DuckDB and Nanocube deliver significantly faster query times.

The **full comparison** with many very nice charts can be found in the **NanoCube GitHub repo**. Maybe it's of interest to some of you. Enjoy...

|\#|technology|duration_sec|factor|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|0|NanoCube|0.016|1|
|1|SQLite (indexed)|0.133|8.312|
|2|Polars|0.534|33.375|
|3|Arrow|1.933|120.812|
|4|DuckDB|4.171|260.688|
|5|SQLite|12.452|778.25|
|6|Pandas|36.457|2278.56|

The table above shows the duration for 1000x point queries on the car_prices_us dataset (available on kaggle.com) containing 16x columns and 558,837x rows. The query is highly selective, filtering on 4 dimensions (model='Optima', trim='LX', make='Kia', body='Sedan') and aggregating column mmr.

Can't link CSS files to HTML in Flask Blueprints!

I’m a total beginner at (any) development and this is my first flask application. I’m having trouble linking CSS files to HTML when inside a blueprint. It works fine outside a blueprint.

Here's my project file structure -

project_root/
|
├── app.py
├── templates/
│ └── (global templates)
├── static/
│ └── (global static files)
├── auth/ # my blueprint
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── routes.py
│ ├── templates/
│ │ └── main.html
│ └── static/
│ └──main.css

I'm trying to link the auth/static/main.css file in the auth/templates/main.html file like this -

`<link rel = 'stylesheet' type="text/css" href="{{url_for('auth.static', filename='main.css')}}">`

I’ve tried changing the `url_for` with “static” or specifying the filename to auth.static.main.ss or static/main.css, but none work. It correctly displays the main.html but without any styling.

I suspect the `url_for` function inside the blueprint is incorrect.

Incoming data not being comitted to the database

I am trying to make a registration page, for my website. The data is coming from the javanoscript frontend to the backend successfully (evident by browser logs.) and by print statements, but the incoming data is failing to commit to the database.

Background, App is made with "Role Based Access" in mind with models User, Roles and UserRoles (association table)

Influencer and Sponsor inherit from User and their primary keys and foreign keys are same. i.e (influencer_id and sponsor_id) respectively.

Here creation of instance of User first is necessary so that its (user_id) could be used to populate the primary keys of Influencer and Sponsor.



@app.route('/register', methods='POST')
def register():
data = request.getjson()

username = data.get('username')
email = data.get('email')
password = data.get('password')
role = data.get('role')
socialm =data.get('socialmedia')
handle = data.get('handle')
country = data.get('country')

I made a Spotify → YouTube Music converter that doesn't need API keys! [GUI]

Hey r/python! After Spotify decided to make their mobile app practically unusable for free users, my friend u/zakede and I decided to switch to YT Music. With our huge libraries, we needed something to convert our playlists, so we made this. It works with a Web GUI (made in FastHTML), and did I mention you don't need any API or OAuth keys?

**What it does:**

* Transfers your Spotify playlists/albums/liked songs to YouTube Music
* Has a simple Web GUI
* Better song search than the default YouTube one (at least in my testing)
* No API keys needed

**Target Audience:** This is for anyone who:

* Is switching from Spotify to YouTube Music
* Wants to maintain libraries on both platforms (Library sync is on the roadmap)
* Is tired of copying playlists manually
* Doesn't want to mess with API keys

**How it's different:** Most existing tools either:

* Require you to get API keys and do OAuth (which is currently [broken](https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/676) for YT Music)
* Are online services that are slow and have low limits (the one I tried only allowed 150 songs per playlist and a total of 5 playlists)
* Are CLI-only

Here's the source: [spotify-to-ytm](https://github.com/Kan1shak/spotify-to-ytm)

Would love to hear your thoughts! Let me know if you try it out

Django + MTN momo integration.

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a Django project, and I want to integrate MTN MoMo (Mobile Money) for payment processing. I’ve gone through the MTN MoMo API documentation, but I’m still a bit confused about how to set it up with Django.

I’m also wondering if there are any reliable third-party APIs or libraries available that make the integration process simpler or more efficient

If anyone here has experience with this, could you share

Thanks.

How to get user input for a Flask App with Autogen AI Agents?

Hi,

I am trying to implement Autogen agents with a Flask App. The new version of autogen-agentchat library allows a rich architecture for multiagent systems.

The following is an example from the documentation (Swarm Chat) that starts an agent chat, where at some point a user input is needed. The chat stops at that point. Then whenever the user input is obtained the chat is resumed.

import asyncio
from autogen_ext.models import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.teams import Swarm
from autogen_agentchat.task import HandoffTermination, Console, MaxMessageTermination
from autogen_agentchat.messages import HandoffMessage
async def main() -> None:
model_client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o" api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY))
agent = AssistantAgent(
"Alice",
model_client=model_client,
handoffs=["user"],
system_message="You are Alice and you only answer questions about yourself, ask the user for help if needed.",
)
termination = HandoffTermination(target="user") | MaxMessageTermination(3)
team = Swarm([agent], termination_condition=termination)
# Start the conversation.
await Console(team.run_stream(task="What is bob's birthday?"))
# Resume with user feedback.
await Console(
team.run_stream(
task=HandoffMessage(source="user", target="Alice", content="Bob's birthday is on 1st January.")
)
)
asyncio.run(main())

I want to implement this in a Flask App. So there will be an endpoint that receives user messages. Then:
