## What it is
Code samples accompanying a seven-part beginner's tutorial series on Django, covering fundamentals, authentication, ORM, class-based views, and deployment. It is a companion repository for the 'A Complete Beginner's Guide to Django' articles on simpleisbetterthancomplex.com.

- you want runnable example code to follow along with written lessons

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready Django starter template
- you use modern Django versions, as the samples target Django 1.11 and Python 3.6
- you need actively maintained or updated code

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, auth, orm, templating, documentation
- domain: web-development, tutorials, developer-tools, education
