Welcome to the Django quickstart! Here's how to get started with Django development in 5 simple steps:

  1. Install Django 📦
    Use pip to install Django:

  2. Create a New Project 🏗️
    Run the following command in your terminal:

  4. Define Models 🧱
    Create a models.py file in your app directory and define your data structure.
    Example:

    from django.db import models
    
    class Book(models.Model):
        title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        author = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        published_date = models.DateField()
