Get hands-on experience of Django web development by building a functional web application with user management, search filters, styling, and cloud deployment.

Zero to Hero in Back-end Web Development

This module focuses on learning Django web development through hands-on examples. We will learn to build a web application, step-by-step, including setting up URLs, views, and templates for different web pages. We will also look at various other useful concepts, such as creating and managing user accounts, implementing search filters, uploading images, and using Bootstrap for styling. Additionally, we’ll also cover cloud deployment using AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Heroku. We’ll learn each concept with the help of an executable environment to get hands-on experience. At the end of this module, we will have built a functional web application using Django.

# My Listings URL

To set up the URL for the *My Listings* page, add the following piece of code in the ***urls<span>.py*** in the app's directory.

path('my_listings/', views.my_listings, name='my_listings')

def my_listings(request):
    my_listings = Listings.objects.order_by('-list_date')
    context = {'my_listings': my_listings}
    return render(request, 'listings/my_listings.html', context)

The entire `my_listings` view is just a copy of the `all_listings` view. This is the case because we haven’t created users yet, so at this point, all listings belong to one person. Once we have different users creating a variety of listings, then we'll come back to fix this view.

# My Listings template

After adding the code for the view, the next step is to create a template. We created a template called ***my_listings.html*** in the templates folder. Open this template in the widget below and add the following code into it.

Learn how to add the URL and create the view and template of the My Listings page.
