Web App Development with Django Competency (Intermediate Level)

  • 30m
  • 30 questions
The Web App Development with Django Competency benchmark assesses your knowledge of standardizing HTML elements and managing website users with the built-in Django admin app. You will be evaluated on your skills in representing entities in a Django project using models and implementing user registration and a login/logout feature in a web site. Additionally, you will also be measured on your ability to define pages for viewing, creating, and editing, and deleting Django model instances using the built-in generic view classes available in Django. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to develop a full-fledged web application using Django.
