Why take this course?
Django is a powerful backend built in Python. React.js is a powerful front end built in JavaScript. The two together bring a full-stack dynamic-ness that’s hard to match.
TinyMCE has been a stable of Django developers for over a decade. Why?Β It provides a powerful What You See Is What You Get Editor (aka WYSIWYG) allowing non-technical team members to build out complex HTML pages without writing a single line of code. For the more technical, TinyMCE also offers powerful ways to modify this content inline.
TinyMCE just got a power boost by leveraging AI tools to really up your game on building out WYSIWYG-managed HTML pages in seconds. In other words, taking the best of TinyMCE and OpenAI GPTs (any version really) or Llama 3 or whatever generative AIΒ comes next. We’ll show you how to implement this as well.

While this might seem like a super advanced Django course, I worked hard to make it as approachable for beginners as possible while allowing more expert devs to jump around as needed.
