Maps with Django - PWC2021

Maps with Django - PWC2021

-- A talk I gave at Python Web Conf 2021

Keeping in mind the Pythonic principle that “simple is better than complex” we'll see how to create a web map with the Python based web framework Django using its GeoDjango module, storing geographic data in your local database on which to run geospatial queries.
