Q.1 What is Django? Explain some technical features.
Ans. Django is a high-level web application development framework based on Python. This framework is one of the best in the industry for rapid(i.e. fast) development, pragmatic design without compromising any feature.
Some of the technical features of Django are:
Admin Interface
Code Reusability
CDN Integration
Security Features
ORM
A huge number of third-party applications
Django community has been developing many features over the years and therefore it’s called “Batteries-Included” framework, as it has lots of features built-in which otherwise would be time-consuming and expensive to make.
Q.2 Explain Django Admin Interface?
Ans. The Django Admin interface is predefined interface made to fulfill the need of web developers as they won’t need to make another admin panel which is time-consuming and expensive.
Django Admin is application imported from django.contrib packages. It is operated by the organization itself and thus doesn’t need the extensive frontend.
Admin interface of Django has its own user authentication and most of the general features. It also offers lots of advanced features like authorization access, managing different models, CMS (Content Management System), etc.
Q.3 Explain Django.

Q.5 Which architectural pattern does Django follow?
Ans. Django follows Model-View-Template (MVT) architectural pattern.
The graph below shows the MVT based control flow.

Q.6 Explain Django architecture.
Ans. Django follows MVT (Model View Template) pattern. It is slightly different from MVC.
Model: It is the data access layer. It contains everything about the data, i.e., how to access it, how to validate it, its behaviors and the relationships between the data.
Let’s see an example. We are creating Employee model who has two fields first_name and last_name.
from django.db import models
class Employee(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
View: It is the business logic layer. This layer contains the logic that accesses the model and defers to the appropriate template. It is like a bridge between the model and the template.
import datetime
# Create your views here.
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
html = “<html><body><h3>Now time is %s.</h3></body></html>” % now
return HttpResponse(html) # rendering the template in HttpResponse
Template: It is a presentation layer. This layer contains presentation-related decisions, i.e., how something should be displayed on a Web page or other type of document.
For the configuration of the templates, we have to provide some entries in settings.py file.
TEMPLATES = [
{
‘BACKEND’: ‘django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates’,
‘DIRS’: [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,’templates’)],
‘APP_DIRS’: True,
‘OPTIONS’: {
‘context_processors’: [
‘django.template.context_processors.debug’,
‘django.template.context_processors.request’,
‘django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth’,
‘django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages’,
],
},
},
]

Q.7 Explain the working of Django?
Ans. Django can be broken into following components:
Models.py : Models.py file will define your data model by extending your single line of code into full database tables and add a pre-built administration section to manage content.
Urls.py : Uses a regular expression to capture URL patterns for processing.
Views.py : This is main part of Django. The presentation logic is defined in this.
When a visitor visits Django page, first Django checks the URLs pattern you have created and use this information to retrieve the view. Then it is the responsibility of view to processes the request, querying your database if necessary, and passes the requested information to a template.
Then template renders the data in a layout you have created and displayed the page.

It puts your project’s package on sys.path.
DJANGO_SETTING_MODULE is the environment variable used to points to your project’s setting.py file.
Q.19 What are the signals in Django?

In order to handle URL in Django, django.urls module is used by the Django framework.
Given below is the urls.py file of the project, lets see how it looks:
// urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path(‘admin/’, admin.site.urls),
]
We can see that, Django has already mentioned a URL here for the admin. Function path takes the first argument as a route of string or regex type.
Argument view is a view function which is used to return a response (template) to the user.
Module django.urls contains various functions, path(route,view,kwargs,name) is one of those which is used to map the URL and call the specified view.
