Django for GIS projects tutorial

I am not going to go through the basics of Django and Python, since there are people way more qualify than me to do this.

If you are completely new to programming in general, I strongly recommend you take a look at TechWithTim website. He has some of the best tutorials on basic programming in different languages and a very nice introduction series to Django. I am not affiliated with him in any way, I just enjoyed its tutorials in my journey to improve my skills as a self-taught coder.

Another nice resource is the simpleisbetterthancomplex website that targets Django specifically. It helped me to better understand how to deploy my website using Nginx and Gunicorn.

Obviously, it goes without saying that you should absolutely read the official documentation. There is also the LearnDjango website from one of the Board Members of the Django Software Foundation.

I am a bit short on time right now, so I don't have time to write an extensive tutorial (but it will come!). In the meantime, you can have a look at my GitHub. I have tried to put as many comments as I could in each file, but I acknowledged that a Django project is overwhelming when you don't know where to start. I'll try to write the tutorial as soon as possible.
