Throughout this course, you’ll learn how to use Django and GeoDjango to build a location-based web application from scratch. You’ll be building a simple nearby shops application that lists the shops closest to a user’s location.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Use Django to build a simple web application from scratch

  • Use the GeoDjango sub-framework to implement geolocation features in your Django application

  • Use a spatial database (PostgreSQL and PostGIS) to get benefits from the spatial features and easily implement location-aware web apps

Downloadable Sample Project: This course includes a downloadable sample project that demonstrates the final state of the Django app you’ll build throughout the course. You can get the source code for it here on the materials repo.
