Project 1 - First Django App

This project will be completed in three distinct parts. Each part will be graded so that any problems can be fixed before they compound into larger problems.

• Project 1 - First Django App
  • 1a - Create a Github repository - Due Mon, Aug 23
  • 1b - Install Development Tools - Due Wed, Aug 25
  • 1c - Build First Application - Due Fri, Aug 27

Project 1a - Create a Github repository - Due Mon, Aug 23

Goal: Setup a git repository stored at Github that will be used for all the code you will write for BACS 350. All grading will be done by examining the code in this course repo.

Step 1 - Register for a Github account

• Visit Github.com
• Select a name that will be your permanent Github user name
• Sign up for a free account at Github
• Login to your account

Step 2 - Create a Git Repo

• Use the Github website to create code repositories for each project
• Create a git repository for this class

• Build a repo named BACS350
• Example:
  • User: Mark-Seaman
  • Github URL: https://github.com/Mark-Seaman/BACS350
• Use a .gitignore file for "Python"

Step 3 - Test .gitignore

• Visit your Github repo - mine is https://github.com/Mark-Seaman/BACS350/blob/main/.gitignore
• Make sure that the file has lots of content to avoid adding Python temp files to the Git repo.

Step 4 - Login to Sensei

• Register your name on the Sensei Web Server
• Fill out the form with you info
• This will let you log into Sensei

Step 5 - Register Your Github Repo

• Setup your Github repo for Sensei to find your code

Step 6 - Clone Your Git Repo

• Run a terminal window
• If you are missing git install it from Git Downloads

• Clone your Github repo to copy it to your local computer

  $ cd

  $ git clone https://github.com//BACS350.git

• View the files in your computer

Step 7 - Add Screen Shot of Your Files

• Go to the directory where your Git repo is on your computer (not the Github website).
• Do a screen capture of the files
• Commit the image to your code repo as "week1/github_repo.png"
• NOTE: capitalization matters, so use all lower case

Step 8 - Add Screen Shot of Book

• It is important that you have the textbook "Django for Beginners" to help you throughout the course.
• Take a picture of the Cover with your phone
• Commit the image to your code repo as "week1/django_book.jpg"
• NOTE: capitalization matters, so use all lower case

Step 9 - Test Your Git repo

• Go to the Student Test Page
• Keep working until the page loads without errors
• No need to turn in the homework assignment. Grades will be determined from the content of your Github repo.
