Emmanuelle Delescolle will teach you how to create a ToDo App with Django!

Here are the steps that she will guide you through:

- We'll install a stlightly prepared django project using cookiecutter in order to save time (with preloaded bootstrap, custom css, required apps already installed, db initialized with superuser)

- We'll jump directly into urls.py (with explanation on how a django/wsgi app is different from basics html/php/asp/jsp based sites if part of the audience has experience with those)

- We'll have a brief intro of TemplateView and Django templates and template inheritance

- We'll do a complete intro on models/makemigrations/migrate

- We'll have a brief description of the admin and how to create a ModelAdmin

- We'll move towards ListView, CreateView and UpdateView

- We'll create a custom View class (to set a todo as done from the list) based on RedirectView

If there's time left:

- We'll do an ajax version of the last step so the page doesn't need to be reloaded when setting a todo as done and see how django can behave differently for ajax and regular requests
