To get the most out of this book
You will need the latest version of Python. All code examples in this book have been tested using Python version 3.9 on Windows 11 using Django 4.0. However, they should work with future version releases as well.
Each chapter will provide additional installation and configuration instructions as the book progresses, such as in Chapter 2, Project Configuration, when we install an optional integrated development environment software suite, or in Chapter 9, Django Testing, when we install a productivity and testing tool.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
