Joke Application Project Using Django Framework
Django is a high-level Python based Web Framework that allows rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. It is also called batteries included framework because Django provides built-in features for everything including Django Admin Interface, default database SQLlite3, etc. Today we will create a Joke app in Django.
