Django Riffs, a podcast for learning Django

I’ve started a podcast! The podcast is called Django Riffs, and my goal is to help beginners learn how to use Django. You can find the show on Spotify or check Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Each episode of the podcast will be a topical exploration of one facet of the Django web framework. With many years of Django under my belt, I believe I have the experience to help beginners on their journey into learning Django. More experienced Djangonauts may benefit from a refresher on the subjects that we cover.

With this launch announcement, I am releasing the first two episodes.

  • The first episode, Get To Know Django, gets us situated with where Django exists in the context of the internet and web application development.
  • In the second episode, Enter With URLs, we start our exploration of Django’s features by focusing on how Django sets up URLs.

These episodes take quite a while to produce because of the research, preparation, and production of each one. My aim is to get out a new show every couple of weeks if I can.

If you would like, you can follow the show on Spotify. Or follow me or the show on X at @mblayman or @djangoriffs.

I hope you enjoy this. Please feel free to reach out to me with comments or feedback. My mission is to make a great Django learning experience for new developers and grow the Django community.
