So you decided to learn Django through some courses. If that is the case, you are at the right place. In this article, I will share some best Udemy courses to speed up your learning of Django framework with Python.
If you want to learn something new, there are various ways or methods available out there. Someone like to learn something from Youtube, somebody preffer blog articles. But in that case, you need to first list down or do little bit of reasearch what you need to learn step by step.
I personally like learning something from blogpost. Because I preffer to implement something in parallel while learning. So blog article or tutorials help me to copy some code directly and run that to see what exactly is happening.
But problem of learning through Youtube or blog tutorial is that, you need to find out best learning path for you and then you study that specific thing by checking multiple youtube videos. That may take some time. This is the reason if you want to speed you your learning, you should spend some money to take some online course. By this way you no need to think for anything, just go with the course. Also you can read good books to learn Django end to end.
Now if you are expecting to learn entire Python Django framework or backend development by taking only one course, then I must tell you that this is not practical. To get confidence in this Python Django web app development framework, you should take atleast 3-4 courses to cover your entire learning. If you have less budget then you can take one course to get overview and then you can move on to Youtube or blog tutorials for specific learning.
Before taking a Udemy course to learn Django, you must know your standard, whether you are in beginner, intermediate or advanced level of full stack development or backend development. I devided entire list of best courses into these levels.
Now different people have different personalized preference. For example some like a course instructor who speaks more technically, some like to hear any technical thing in simple and normal english. Some people prefer fast speaker instructor and some like to go slowly. Along with that accent is very important. I personally like indian accent, your prefference can be different.
This is the reason for each category level I have listed down 2 to 3 Udemy courses, so that you can pick as per your preference.
Begginer Level
Beginner level means you just starting or planning to learn Django. In this section, I will add 4 courses. You can take any one or multiple from those as per your personal preference.

Final Thought
There are so many courses on Udemy for one technology (for example Django). When I started learning Django, I found difficulty choosing best course from Udemy. This is the reason I made this article to do that hardwork for you, so that you can make the right choice.
Now every person have their own preferrence and way to understand something. Some one like to hear some thing in technical terms, some like in normal and easy english. Accent is another important thing while learning from some instructor. This is the reason I have listed down 3 to 4 courses for each level (beginner, intermediate and advanced).
The reason I categorized all courses into beginner, intermediate and advanced is that, every one should first know their level before taking any Django course. If you already have some knowledge of Django then there is no point of taking begginer courses to waste some money and time.
This is it for this article. If you have any questions or suggestiongs regarding this article, please let me know in the comment section below.
