HOW IT WORKS
Workshop Itinerary
The workshop will be a series of 4 weekly virtual meetings, each lasting an hour, where instructor and attendees collaborate.

We'll start with an intro to Django and build the foundations of the event registration system. In this session, we'll build the models that represent data in the application.
Week 2
During week two, we'll start building views and templates to give the application a user interface. We'll also cover testing, why it's important, and how to write tests.
Week 3
In session three, we'll cover more advanced features of the application, such as searching for events by date and category.
Week 4
For the final session, the focus will be on attendees implementing a feature for the application that makes their portfolio project unique.
