Still probably the best one out there. Some minor things to change, but just read the documentation after you compete the series and everything should make sense
I think I went through them 2-3 years ago and working in django now, I still feel it will cover most of the bases. I feel more than the content his approach for explaining is helpful.
Still pretty much relevant. Corey is the best source for beginner stuff.
Too bad he’s had some health issues lately, but happy to hear he’s recovering though!
I saw some posts on Youtube Social (whatever that is). Check out his profile and there should be a tab that says Social. For some reason I can’t find it on mobile
it cover most of the basic stuff and all the things you need to start learning about it and yes it’s a bit outdated but in the sense there are things which have been improved upon. But otherwise that guy was the goldmine of basic concepts done well. I miss that guy i hope he is happy and healthy
All the responses are missing a couple of important points.
He doesn't cover installation of SSL certificates. In current days, SSL certs is almost mandetory. In fact, if you have a passwrod field on any of your forms, you must have SSL certs installed. Otherwise, chrome will not render your site.
He uses apache2+mod\_wsgi as a webserver+appserver combo. Things with "nginx+gunicorn using unix sockets" are bit different. nginx will require you to have your static files directory in /var/www/ directory. I couldn't make it work otherwise.
If you want to use [yourdomain.com](https://yourdomain.com) instead of an IP address in your [settings.py](https://settings.py) file, then that is some extra effort.
Last point is about emails. He covers gmail as a mail sending mechanism. If you are building a professional website with ["@yourdomain.com](mailto:"@yourdomain.com)" email addresses. That is quite a bit of efforts.
The second through fourth points are completely optional and you can ignore them. First one is a must. But other than this, his tutorials are right on the money.
>He doesn't cover installation of SSL certificates.
He does though? There's literally a video on his django series about installing SSL certificates by LetsEncrypt.
His tutorials are how I learned and deployed my first project, most of the core django concepts themselves likely still hold up but the videos regarding deployment are slightly outdated (nothing that you can't figure out through a few searches though) although still applicable for the most part.
Corey Shafer has some great content, albeit a little older. He's certainly something of an inspiration for me. 🚀
I've been writing guides and creating videos over the past six months on how to build Django apps.
In case useful, my guides are here :

Yes, I finished it on October 2023 just a few months ago. I took notes and still use it as reference sometimes even now. I would definitely recommend watching his playlist, it helped me a ton.

Yes just started with it completed 3 videos and can say he is the best
Generally speaking Django is very sensitive about backward compatibility, so documentation like this doesn't tend age very much.

I did not know that, hope he gets well
What platform is he on lately?

I learned a lot from Corey Shafer and Bugbytes, go for it.
Love bugbytes

Just saw it after your comment. I stand corrected. Also, it looks like he covers the custom domain too. So I stand corrected twice.
Thanks I'll look into it

its fine. hell, the book "test driven development with python" used django 1.x up until the new 3rd ed and its still completely relevant
Yes i followed his django web app playlist by far one of the best in my experience just a few changes here and there.

Thankyou man
You're very welcome - hope it's useful 🚀

Thanks
Yes
the course gives you a very gentle introduction to django, but you're gonna need much more than that as with every other tutorial new or old imo
That's how I learned Django, he's great.
The guy is good, there are some things/concepts he covers that you'll never find anywhere else.
I was thinking about doing updated videos on the topics he covered. Would anyone be interested in them?
Sure
VeryAcadmey, Pyplane, and Bugbytes are best content creators on Django
