# First Django Admin

A step-by-step guide to creating a simple web application that empowers you to enlist reporters in data entry and refinement.

You will learn just enough about the [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) framework to design database tables, load in data and create an administration panel for others to improve it. You will not bother with all the other web developer crap.

## About the authors

This guide was developed by [Ben Welsh](http://palewi.re/who-is-ben-welsh/) and Ken Schwencke for a workshop [on March 8](http://ire.org/conferences/nicar2015/hands-on-training/) at the 2015 conference of the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR) in Atlanta. In 2021, it was updated by University of Maryland professor [Derek Willis](http://thescoop.org/about/) to support the latest Python tools.
