How to use

The scope of this tutorial covers the modest scope of serving a single page template via Django complete with styles and other static assets. Deploying this project won't result in anything glorious, as it is intended to help newcomers grasp some basic Django concepts such as:

• Installing and running Django locally
• Configuring Django settings properly
• Creating and managing “app” modules
• Serving templates via Django’s native templating system
• Styling templates with static assets
• Routing in Django
