Django

Django is a powerful web framework built with Python that helps you create dynamic websites quickly and efficiently. Instead of manually coding every page, Django lets you use templates to automatically generate pages with fresh data—such as blog posts or user profiles.

Django also simplifies connecting your site to a database, making it easy to store and manage information like user comments or product listings. Plus, Django comes with built-in features like user authentication and security, so you can focus on building your site without reinventing the wheel.

Some places you might see Django in the wild include Instagram, Pinterest and National Geographic.
