06-07, 14:00–14:50 (Europe/Madrid), Workshop
Do you want to build a personal site with Django? Give a go to Wagtail, a CMS built upon the framework. You can learn it quickly, it will give you a good mixture of blogging functionality out of the box. We’ll also showcase that there’s plenty of room to customize your models, views, templates, and everything else Django developers expect.
During this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll go from nothing to a live site on a cloud platform. We’ll briefly introduce Wagtail, then get straight to building – starting from a minimal template and then adding more blogging features to learn different concepts.
During the interactive part of the workshop, we’ll cover:
- Starting a new Wagtail site (5min)
- Customizing models and views to suit your needs (10min)
- Customizing templates (5min)
- Support for images and videos (5min)
- Deploying to the cloud platform (10min)
Attendees will be able to either go through the tutorial steps on their own device, or follow along without coding. This will be taught by people who create and teach a Wagtail developer training course professionally, based on existing material curated to fit within the DjangoCon Europe format.
