TikTok Clone with Django, HTMX and Alpine.js

In this course, you will learn how to build a full-stack social media application inspired by TikTok using modern web development tools. Through a step-by-step, tutorial-based approach, you will develop a real-world application from scratch and gain practical experience in both frontend and backend development. We begin by building the frontend, where you will create clean and responsive layouts using TailwindCSS.

To add interactivity, we will use Alpine. js and HTMX, allowing us to build dynamic user interfaces without relying on large JavaScript frameworks. Next, we move to the backend with Django, where you will learn how to structure a project, work with databases, and perform CRUD operations using Django’s ORM.

You will also use Django’s templating system to render dynamic content and connect backend logic with the user interface. As the project progresses, we will implement key social media features, including:Likes and repostsComments and repliesInfinite scrollingSearch and taggingSocial network featuresReal-time chat functionalityVideo uploads and video in feedFinally, you will learn how to prepare the project for production. We will cover how to deploy the application on a web server, set up CI/CD with Docker, and integrate OAuth authentication for secure user login.

By the end of this course, you will have built your own TikTok-style social media platform and gained valuable experience developing and deploying modern full-stack web applications with Django.
