This guy should be made a Professor already. Makes complex terms so simple. Watching from Nigeria. Thanks man!
I strongly get new concepts and ideas everytime after watching your videos, that's great I always prefer to hand code while depending on something..
Truthfully, most of these examples could easily be built with WordPress. It's often a lot faster to build a custom plugin or to add custom functionality to the theme than to code an entire e-commerce site from scratch.
I was resistant to this for years and I've finally realized that I should work smarter not harder. You mentioned that you could hand-code a site faster than using wordpress and I can only assume that you have a rock solid boilerplate that you start from.
It's 1:30 am in Tanzania now....and this is the only video that has given me a reason to sleep comfortably! Thank you so much Dennis Ivy! Well explained and answers so many questions why big companies don't use wordpress. It still has its place though
My story is similar to you for small ecommerce projects I use wordpress and for large I use hand-coding
but keep in mind to customize things in wordpress you will require Intermediate level of html , css, Js, php to get how specificty works and how to customize add_to_cart button for specific page.
Accessibility and security are the two more important reasons and both approaches come with issues. Hardcoding your own website depends 100% on you to learn how to avoid or, at least, mitigate problems with those, but 3rd parties, we never really know what's going on behind the scenes and we have little to no control over.
Please make a series on Django Rest and React
I will soon :)
@@DennisIvy Django + bootstrap would be great :)
@@DennisIvy Please make video on how to freelance as web developer
@@TechMarketer he already has videos where he uses bootstrap
@@DennisIvy Please make a video on how to install redis server problem during making a Chat application using django... Please help me in this regard
Awesome, I've been scratching my head about this lately..
Great Video! The exact same reason you are hand coding your own website is the same reason I hand code clients. I know WordPress like the back of my hand but growth is the key, I'd hate to start over coding a website because WordPress couldn't handle it.
Finally!I was worrying that you stopped with youtube videos. I am a beginner who is now following your crash course on django :)
Haha no definitely haven’t stopped ;) just a lot of work to do behind the scenes prepping for new courses. It’s tough to make videos and code sometimes.
Really appreciate the support Jan :)
@@DennisIvy Please make video on how to freelance as a web developer
Awesome content as always
Thanks for everything you do! I've been following your Django tutorials and have learnt so so so much.
My pleasure :)
Hi Dennis, I really appreciate what you're doing. I have been waiting for the portfolio website tutorial and Django e-commerce rest API.
I love you man and I'm your biggest fan in Nigeria 💝
I really appreciate that! I’ve been doing a lot of work behind the scenes prepping for this. That why it’s been almost 2 months since I last posted. I’ll be releasing those soon :)
He is indeed a great teacher ❤️.
He's more than a teacher to me. He's my motivation, role model and he gives me hope that once I keep working hard I'll be a successful in the tech industry.
Thank you for video, because before one week only I searched this video
My pleasure :)
Thanks, this was very helpful.
Thank you man, very valuable information
I am watching all Django videos very well understand. Thanks ❤️.
Pls do a video how to use ajax.
I love how you talk through every step and explain all! Love to see more vids from you - what about a vid that covers the new Version of WordPress - the 6.1🙏🙏🙏😊👍🏻😳♥
Hi Dennis, your videos is very good, please make videos on unit testing also, it will helpful to most of the people
Could you please tell me how did you make your course website I talking about the website from which you taught us django e-commerce???
I decided to handcode my portfolio website because I got sick of plugins crashing the site. I also wanted it to look a certain way and have certain UI features, I was not sure I could do them in WordPress.
Thank you sir.🙏🙏🙏 . Impressive content
:)
Sir waiting for your long series...Django backend of your portfolio design.🙂🙂🙂...please upload soon sir🙏🙏🙏
thanks man...I was taking ages handcoding small buinesses...I have great creaticity I like to portray but for my freelancing, I am getting started with wordpress
How do you find clients?
Pretty much the same advice my instructor gave us in college. I always prefer to hand code my work when I can. I find sometimes you're a bit limited with wordpress
Great insight! Completely agree, why try to reinvent the wheel for simpler projects when there are platforms ready to go and you can spend your time on the important stuff! Work smarter not harder :D
I am a one person coder. Have no team. I prefer WordPress because it saves me time.
If I have to build a huge website using Django It will take me ages not mention debugging the mess.
Don't get me wrong. I love Python and Django but prefer WordPress for websites.
I love the new Divi theme which uses drag and drop to design your website.
Happy coding everyone.
Is there a way to add on to wordpress, like lets say you need something advance, is there a way to use them together? Manual coding with wordpess
Great video bro
Welcome back!
Thank you Aashay :)
@Dennis Ivy, Please upload or your updated portfolio source code (Static one)
Can we play music on django webapplication.if yes.how to do that?
You can re-use hand coded...code for various clients.
Thanks for the video it was interesting to hear your opinion on it! I wonder how many years experience do you have?
About 3 years now as a full stack dev. But I’ve been building Wordpress sites and using HTML & CSS for about 6 years now
Can you show us how to build a online web game(client server based) using python or using django channels to build some app with real time comms.
waiting for your django and react ecommerce website
Coming soon :)
me too
thank Dennis
hi, can you please tell me which one should i pick if i want to build a website with high graphics and complex stuffs just like gaming websites ?
This video made me subscribe 👍 👍👍
Hello Sir, You are doing such a great job. Your Videos are really helpful. Can you plz make a video on real time chat application in Django... I need to integrate into my project. Love from INDIA ...
Great one man. #coderslife
Dennis !! can you make a video for a budgeting app with authentication using python Django!
I tried wordpress. I never was able to find out where to put my own code and never turned out right as if I am blocked. I also tried hand code html, bootstraping, css,js,sass..I got stuck. now I am going django cause I don't want to learn anymore coding other than python. Thanks for the video. I hope django does it.
Can you please make tutorial on how to approach Data structure and algorithm. Also DBMS for College Students...please sir...
I Use WP many times, yes it is easy but you can't control it especially if the plug ins keep on updating,
What do you recommend other websites instead of WordPress?
Just saw the video. Thank you nonetheless. Looking forward.
he men , high school guy here i like your tutors keep going i am learning a lot from you
i mean hey
I am new to web development but have some experience in software development, hence I follow coding from scratch. But my worry is, how to manage web security(prevent hacking) and SEO when we do development from scratch ? In wordpress, plugins gives us a very good help.
have you got any answers
Please make a series on django with simple blog development like wordpress
What about wordpress with php/html/css. Can't see why you can't combine it
Hey Dennis, please make a tutorial on how to make a live video conferencing web application with django + react
Love from Indian...
I am an engineer but not web related, very interested in that lab management system you built and wondering if there is a video went through that or any document that i can reference to. Thanks a lot!
which do you recommend a beginner learn?
Why not using Django-CMS or Waigtail?
WIX has themes Plug ins and you can add your own code. Does Word Press also work this way ? I never have used wordpress, last time I tried word press, years ago, it was too complicated WIX was not.
Yes I should have mentioned Wix, I think it’s underrated :) you can do a lot of custom coding with Wordpress
I just wanna know what should i do with my next project as beginner in django.
I'm done with following:
1. Simple personal website
2. Todo list
Mag built ka ng amazon clone boss haha
Create Rest API in Django
I'm using Wagtail... built on Django.
Love you bro, Please make advance level Django projects
A few new courses are in the making :) and I love you guys too! Thanks for the support
@@DennisIvy 😘 Thanks man for what you are doing for us. Can't wait for the new courses.
Waiting for django ecommerce rest api version
ButterCMS is the way to go.
Nice
WordPress burned me for the last time on a small simple self-hosted site. At least once a year, I run into a security issue and end up losing my self-hosted solution. Redesigning my personal self-hosted site in Django right now. Should have done it years ago. The hassle of always patching WP for a site that no-one should care about but me and a few blog readers, is too much hassle moving forward.
WordPress stuff can't really be put in a portfolio can it? I would I just use something like WordPress for the portfolio site and not waste much time there and then link the actual coding projects? im still learning but im feeling pretty close to start making stuff. i just assumed WordPress is like cheating and won't show your coding abilities to an employer. im not in the industry so i wouldn't know. just something i assumed.
If im building multi milyon $ business, shood i use wordpres or Jango?
Depends on how many million$ you want to make...
@@DennisIvy I'M CRYING
Wordpress
I LOVE TO CODE HENCE I WILL ALWAYS CODE my website ! ; )
You should have told us you have a coding tutorial website
What about headless cmd like gatsby?
I have shifted from django to node js backend, as i am doing intern and my company uses mainly node js...node js is also good enough but i really miss django...i think i should continue to both node js as always as django developer...what do u say about this dennis?

Please Help me solving Feedback form submission issue.
Any plans to launch a Django course on Udemy ?
I have a few courses coming but I will release them for free. I will however offer a paid guide to go along with it like my last course.
@Dennis Ivy Please make video on how to freelance as web developer
Is your voice and video in this video working differently in this video?
Sir. Ivy pump more Content .........
Very interesting subject! For me, i think that WordPress make things so easy, but i have such a nostalgy for hand coding witch i prefer most.
Wordpress is best. but you should not only know wordpress. if you know wordpress plugin development. then it is incredible. you can add custom features to a wordpress site.
I would agree. Building your own plugins could be extremely powerful
@@DennisIvy Yes Dennis. I Know Wordpress Plugin Development. As I Am A PHP Lover. And the Great News Is That Now You Can Also Develop Wordpress Plugins Using ReactJS So That's Pretty Awesome For Javascript Lovers Too...
What is easy? Hacking a Wordpress Website or Learning Python ?
How about templating
Not even a question if you like coding!
You could hand code your clients website and implement it into a custom Wordpress theme as well as i'm sure you know, that's still considered hand coded. I've seen a lot of indie hackers use Wordpress to build their SASS website generating thousands, just depends on the level of complexity but if you can hand code everything within WP then maybe this comment is irrelevant toward the meaning of this video, lol. Hand Code + Wordpress.
MICROWEBER CMS could be an awesome alternative to Wordpress or Django
FTW - Django/Wagtail, then add it HTMX/Hyperscript for the front end. :)
Django ecommerce site please!!!
Bro, trust me, I'm a wordpress developer. But, i get this all the time that its like cakewalk building a website from wordpress. Which is not, people don't know shit about headless CMS or integrating wordpress with three.js. even child themes. My advice is to work smart instead of hard.
What do you mean by headless CMS? Removing the tabs within wp-admin?
@@shahanahmed952you can say it's like content as a service. Delivering content using API. In case of wordpress, you can use graphql for that. So its like integrating wordpress with graphql and react.js or gatsby.js
@@eastwardape9841 Amazing. I've been learning wordpress for Freelancing but didn't know this was also possible. Thanks you bro.
@@shahanahmed952 yea man, welcome.😉
@@eastwardape9841 Wow. So can you really intergrate react.js with WordPress?
DJANGO!
Have to admit. Just building an admin/dashboard section by your own is a hell of a work. Never doing that again unless absolutely necessary.
Just use a headless CMS
@@brandon9638 thanks for your answer. Do Headless CMS still let you tweak some of their inner workings in case there were more advance requirements?
@@serranomorante Headless CMS has very few limitations, if any at all. I recommend ButterCMS due to the range of programming languages and stacks it supports.
❤️
Django
the problem is that if you are building a site for a client they need to pay for wordpress each month (it is not free) that is including hosting. We can make more money if we hardcode.
There’s always some form of monthly fee :) I just include this in the price
WordPress is open source, meaning it's free and always has been.
Django + react project based series pls😁🙏
Soon :)
@@DennisIvy Excited sir ji😁👍
Bring new tutorial please.
Thank you ❤️
Soon :)
Please, do videos on django api
I will soon :)
Much easier to learn Django to untire to yourself hands than use WP and follow their limitations.
QUESTION How do I get a result from a PAYMENT process ( like STRIPE or PAYPAL ) to Trigger an Event or Function in MY website ?
I am building a Business Website where in steps ( 1 ) a Customer ( anyone this is not a Subscription nor membership site ) comes to my web site Fills out a Form for DATA SUBMISSION into the Database. ( 2 ) Once the DATA Form is filled out they press NEXT button ( 3 ) they are taken to a 3rd party PAYMENT page where they fill out a payment form and then press SUBMIT ( 4 ) once the SUBMIT button is pressed payment is process ( 5 ) ONLY AFTER PAYMENT IS APPROVED THEN I want the Data to be submitted into the data base.
QUESTION Is STEP # 5 completed with JS or some other language ? *HOW do I complete the process where AFTER PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED from a 3rd party payment processor ( like STRIP or PAYPAL ) THEN the data from the Already filled out data form is submitted into the data base ??* IS A WEBHOOK required to make this possible ? (if so how would one code that ) Is GET, Fetch, or some third party server required ??
It's actually not very complicated. Stripe sends success or failure notification to a webhook endpoint which you need to register with stripe either manually on the stripe dashboard or using API. More information on this link: stripe.com/docs/webhooks
sir where is your country
I live in the US, west coast
With the woocommerce rest api you could have done all the customizations you mentioned.
Dennis Django army 🐱🏍🐱🏍🐱🏍🐱🏍
Haha :)
@@DennisIvy 😁
Session
That's so true! Like what if you've gone too far in your WordPress creation that,for whatever reason, you want it in the usual HTML/CSS format and use a backend tech of your choice or whatever.
I think that's the kind of freedom hand coding gets you. But that doesn't mean it's a time saver. Hand coding stuff out from scratch does take a shed load of time.
And this is why we need to take the time at the very beginning to think about the whole infrastructure and the end goal. Can't be shooting in the dark.. 🔦
Question is, can we even extract the HTML and CSS after I've created a WordPress website? Because if we can, that would be awesome. I know that WEBFLOW does allow exporting HTML/CSS if you PAY that is.. That's a bummer.. 🤣
Just use a Headless CMS
