But I started learning Django to make a website a few months back, I’ve been liking it so far, and here are a few quick notes!
I spent some time trying to learn Rails in 2020, and while it was cool and I really wanted to like Rails (the Ruby community is great!
), and Django feels easier to me because things are more explicit.
Django has a really nice built-in admin interface, and I can customize it with just a little bit of code.
If I add, delete, or change a field in models.py , Django will automatically generate a migration script like migrations/0006_delete_imageblob.py .
