Customizing Django Templates Course

In Django Basics, you learned how to set up the skeleton of a video tutorial library. But for a real-world application, you’d probably want more flexibility and functionality in your websites.

Django offers lots of built-in options for using templates to make your site dynamic and flexible, and makes it easy for you to build the extra things you need. In this course, learn about more complex template inheritance, how to make use of the vast array of built-in tags and filters Django has, and how to grow your own tags and filters for the functionality that Django doesn’t provide. By the time you finish this course, you will have a deeper understanding of how you can make Django’s templates work for your project, as well as a fully fleshed out video tutorial site!
