Django Backend Setup - Free Full-stack Course 🦄

Part of the Free Full-stack course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6yRaaP0WPkXo7Kl6LQcO69bsYTS7BDxo Welcome to the Free Full-stack Course In this course, we will be using Python as the programming language for our backend to deliver REST APIs. The REST APIs will be developed on top of Django which is a backend/website framework that sits on top of Python. And we will also use DRF (Django REST Framework) to actually deliver our APIs on top of Django. In this chapter we are going to set up our Django backend project. We will first create a GitHub repository in which we will store all of our backend code not only in this chapter, but also in all coming chapters where we work on our server. We will then create a virtual environment with PyEnv with the correct version of Python and install Django. After that we connect our Django installation to PostgreSQL and apply our migrations.
