Tutorial

It has been tested, corrected and translated in multiple languages by a lot of people and you can fit it into an 8 hour workshop.

In the tutorial everyone builds their own blog. Of course, changes from that are really appreciated as it helps women to understand even more what’s happening under the hood.

We do this to get people familiar with errors and bugs which happen to every programmer all the time. We want people not to be afraid of them, but learn how to read, understand and fix them. Don’t skip this part, it’s important!

This technique also allows people to better understand how it actually works. If you just copy and paste the code, you can’t learn how it works. If you really need to think about it - this is when it starts to click.

The goal of the tutorial is to build a working web application and deploy it to the internet.

Getting people excited and making them fall in love with building things is our mission.

Constantly show them the bigger picture, talk about open source communities, bring in the larger context of the internet.

We would prefer if you use our material for the workshop. If you have awesome tutorial that you want to share, you can create a meetup after the main event. Ask us if you want to use the name Django Girls: we usually accept if the meetup is beginner friendly and has a Code of Conduct ;)
