The purpose of this thesis is to present the Django web framework as one of the solutions to modern, rapid web development challenges. First, the reader will be introduced to the basics of the Python programming language and web application security and then to the concept of model-view-controller architecture and common programming principles. Next, the reader will learn about Django's functionality on a real project. WMvare was used to install the Ubuntu operating system on which the score web application was built with help of tools such as the Terminal, VirtualEnv, Sublime Text 2 and Git. This application will be used to demonstrate how each layer of the model-view-controller architecture works which will be accompanied by pictures and code snippets. Finally it will be shown to the reader how the score application is being used by administrators, managers and users alike.
