If you’re looking for Django YouTube channels, you might be overwhelmed by the choices. There are so many of them, but not all are worth your time and attention. How do you pick the best ones? Well, I did the hard work for you and selected the top Django channels based on these criteria: their focus on Django, their content quality, their popularity (subscribers), and their quantity (videos). Most of these channels offer tutorials (long videos) but I also included some that share tips, tricks, and news.
On YouTube, you can save videos to watch later (which I always do when I come upon an interesting video on my home feed, while I still want to scroll down). You can also make your own playlists of videos that are related to each other and watch them back-to-back. And of course, you can show your support or feedback by liking, disliking, commenting, and subscribing to the channels you enjoy.
Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate developer, you’ll find something useful and interesting in these channels. Here are my top picks:

4. Very Academy
Very Academy is my favorite Django YouTube channel. It’s run by Alexander Stacey, who started it in 2016. He teaches Django, a web development framework, along with other web technologies like Python, Javascript, and WordPress.
One of the reasons why I like his channel is his teaching style. He has a clear and simple way of explaining things that makes them easy to understand. His videos are always informative and helpful.
Another reason why I like his channel is his upload frequency. He posts new Django videos almost every day. He has more than 600 videos on his channel so far, which makes him one of the most active Django YouTube instructors. He also offers Udemy courses for those who want to dive deeper into the topics he covers for free on YouTube.
His videos are usually about 30 minutes long and they cover either a complete tutorial series or a single Django topic.
