When it comes to Python web frameworks, the elephant (pony?) in the room is Django. Let's explore this framework and build the prototype of an e-learning site. We'll look into Django's admin, ORM, migrations, and template system. In the end, you'll have a project you can use to explore even more of the Django world.
