Django

Create folder ’templates’ inside ‘shortenersite’ and then inside ’templates’ create folder ‘shortenersite’.

Inside “shortenersite/templates/shortenersite/” create ‘base.html’ and ‘index.html’. So now paste the following to them.

Open up your “urlshortener/urls.py” and add the following code to it:

[urlshortener/urls.py]

Now, Let us create a Django app. From your project’s root directory run this command

django-admin startapp shortenersite

Creating a Django project

django-admin startproject urlshortener

Now you will see new directory “urlshortener”. Now our folder structure looks something like:

I finally got the time to write a Django tutorial. In this tutorial we are building URL Shortener. If you are confused with what we are building then we are building something similar to (bit.ly) or (goo.gl).
