Maps with Django - PyCon Italia 2023

Maps with Django - PyCon Italia 2023

-- A talk I gave at PyCon Italia 2023

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.
