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.

Go to ***settings<span>.py*** and scroll all the way down to check that the paths for `MEDIA_URL` and `MEDIA_ROOT` have been set up correctly.

Follow step-by-step instructions to set up the paths for static and media files.
