Girls in Tech Bootcamp: Introduction to Django & Python

Take a dive into Django & Python with Girls in Tech! Django is a free and open source web application framework written in Python. A web framework is a set of components that helps you develop websites faster and easier. In this workshop, we will create a simple blog using Python and Django.
