picking new tech quickly
What's your advice of picking new tech quickly? I was invited to do a task for recrutation in Django, the problem is Ive never used Django before (job is for jr backend i mainly do front these days but why not give it a shot) I did something with flask in the past, don't know how similiar they are. The task doesnt look that hard and I have 7 days but still not knowing Django sucks 😵

So to be clear my goal is not to learn all of the Django but enough to solve the problem, any strategy?
stay in application land (ie outside of library land)
Why 😳
every backend thing is just routing, and then ways to take a request and send either html or json
and a database
so you just need to figure out the very basics of those things
once you get too far into library land theres way more than a weeks worth of stuff to learn, but if you know a few backend frameworks then you should be able to get crud up and running in a different one in no time
do any crud app tutorial for that framework and you're good to go
That all makes sense, thx!
