First things first - head to the Djangogirls Tutorial, which is arguably one of the best Django tutorials. The tutorial is simple and easy-to-grasp, even for beginners and the best part? At the end of the tutorial, you’d have developed a fantastic blog application of yours and also hosted it. This in itself is a great first project that you can put on your resume.

Now, talking about some other project ideas on Django:

1. Professor Review Platform. You can create your own ‘Professor Review System’ through which students would be able to review professors and courses so that they can decide which course to take. Create the following features:
