Build seven standalone Django projects covering HTTP, the ORM, forms, IDOR, JSON APIs, security, and production deployment.
A detailed curriculum with hands-on assignments and projects
Seven independent repositories take you from a first request to a production-ready CaseBook. The central exercise is a safe ‘diary breach’ lab: access-control failure is reproduced only with two local test accounts, fixed with ownership checks, and preserved as a regression test.
You should know Python, the terminal, and basic Git. The course targets Python 3.12β3.14 and the supported Django 6.0.x line; no paid external services are required.

Persist training cases in SQLite, inspect ORM queries, and configure a safe admin site.
Build a server-rendered UI where data passes through ModelForm, CSRF protection, and clear error states.
Reproduce IDOR against local fixtures, then close the leak with ownership checks and regression tests.
Build a focused JSON API with standard Django: methods, validation, idempotency, and access control.
Measure queries, test XSS/CSRF/host headers, and enable Django 6's built-in CSP in a safe lab.
Take the project to production-ready state with environments, Postgres, static assets, health checks, and deploy β¦
