How to build a simple Twitter clone using Django and Vue.js

/ #Django #Vue.js


Building a social network isn't just a really cool project, but it's also a project that can teach you a lot of new cool things. In this video we will begin by installing the software we need, creating a new Django project and build a simple Twitter clone piece by piece. At the end of this video, you will have a working social network that we will deploy to a live server.

This video assumes that you got basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It would also help if you have some prior experience with Django, but I try to explain things as good as I can, so hopefully no one should feel lost.

Most of this video will be for learning Django. But I really like the combination of Django and Vue, so I'm going to use this JavaScript framework for many different things like sending data to the backend, validation and similar.
