TL;DR
I went through the famous Django "polls" app tutorial, and made it into a git repository which you can follow commit by commit:
GitHub link: deployment-from-scratch/django-2.2-polls
Tutorial link: Writing your first Django app
It's for Django 2.2.
Full Story:
Since the beginning of time (me wanting to leave PHP development) I was intrigued by Ruby on Rails and Django frameworks. I liked both for different reasons, but ended up doing mainly Rails because of Ruby the language (and living with a syndrome that I might made a mistake ever since).
Fast forward to 2019, and I am writing a book on deploying web application where I am trying to teach deployment of both Ruby and Python apps. There are pretty similar in that regards actually, but I needed some Python examples.
For this reason, I went to the Django site after many years (it's a lie, I keep watching Django space haha) and did the famous introductory tutorial of building "polls" app. I did it "commit by commit" so people can follow it easily while going through the tutorial.
