My First Project
Once you have come up with a suitable name for your Django project, like mine:
my_tennis_club , navigate to where in the file system you want to store the code (in the
virtual environment), I will navigate to the myworld folder, and run this command in the
command prompt:
django-admin startproject my_tennis_club
Django creates a my_tennis_club folder on my computer, with this content:
my_tennis_club
[Link]
my_tennis_club/
__init__.py
[Link]
[Link]
[Link]
[Link]
These are all files and folders with a specific meaning, you will learn about some of them later
in this tutorial, but for now, it is more important to know that this is the location of your project,
and that you can start building applications in it.

Now that you have a Django project, you can run it, and see what it looks like in a browser.
Navigate to the /my_tennis_club folder and execute this command in the command
prompt:
python [Link] runserver
Which will produce this result:
Watching for file changes with StatReloader
Performing system checks...
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
You have 18 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly
until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes,
sessions.
Run 'python [Link] migrate' to apply them.
