Introduce yourself to Django, a web application framework written in Python for quick web development.

Zero to Hero in Back-end Web Development

This module briefly introduces Django, a free and open-source web application framework written in Python. It is used for rapid web development and clean, pragmatic design. It is built by experienced developers to make repetitive tasks easier, so we can focus on writing apps instead of reinventing the wheel. This module teaches Django to beginner- and intermediate-level learners. The module includes many interactive widgets to give us a hands-on learning experience. At the end of the module, we will have created a project in Django that can be used in our portfolio.

## Filters

Filters are used to modify variables for display.

### Syntax

Below is the syntax of the filter:

```
{{ variable | filter_name }}
```

A `|` (called a **pipe**) is used to apply a filter. Basically, the syntax above will display the value of the `{{variable}}` after being filtered through the `filter_name` filter.

> Some filters can also take arguments. A filter argument looks like this: `{{ bio|truncatewords:30 }}`. This will display the first 30 words of the `bio` variable.


Django provides about sixty [built-in template filters](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/templates/builtins/#ref-templates-builtins-filters). Below are some of the more commonly used template filters:
