1.1 Introduction

I want to be real with you. Sometimes, you have to go back to the beginning, and today, Django and I have to go back to the beginning. Anytime you wanna learn something new for the first time, refresh your memory on a topic, or simply learn new things about a library, framework, or language. Your best bet is to stick with your passions. What do I mean? I wanna get better with Django, so I'm going to apply it to a passion of mine, lawn care. I find that the best way to accomplish our goals and learning new languages of frameworks is to build something meaningful for yourself. And that's exactly what I'm gonna show you today. So join me as I take you through the process of building a simple, yet illustrated app that will help me track the amount of nutrients I put in my lawn when I apply fertilizer. Yeah, and learn a little bit about Django and Python along the way. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started.
