About Django
Django is a web framework written in Python that is geared toward rapid web application development but in a structured and efficient manner. Developing web applications can be a tedious process often with large redundant portions where code isn't (or isn't efficiently) reused. Django provides mechanisms to generate admin sections for back-end editing and publishing automatically. This takes out much of the tedious working and re-working that go into building a well-rounded web app. Beyond these features, Django provides a robust set of tools for any web developer to quickly build a feature-rich application including:
- Database abstraction and access layer
- Templating system
- Caching system
- Full internationalization support
- Search engine friendly URLs
