Hello Everyone,
This may sound stupid. When people know a skill so well. Its sometimes
hard to think someone wouldn't know the most basic information. New to
coding write code for Arduino.

I fully understand what you are saying. And it doesn't sound stupid. A
friend of mine can't cook and his girlfriend said he should take a
cooking class. He said he couldn't find one where the first lesson was
"This is a saucepan". She left him for someone less selfish.
I'm sure lots of people will respond with all sorts of advice but I
think you are in a valuable position because you have first impressions
of the documentation and that's what people see when they first start
looking. First impressions are easily forgotten once you get involved.
You should consider re-writing the documentation or a section of it
perhaps called "Absolute beginners".
Django is open source and everyone is welcome to contribute[1]. The
correct way to do that is by writing a ticket requesting a particular
improvement to the docs or the software. Then you should submit your
correction/improvement in response to the ticket. If it is considered
valuable by the gatekeepers they will use it.

When your on the
* documentation page
o Writing your first Django app, part 1¶ .
+ Then it says "We’ll assume you have Django installed
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/intro/install/>already.
You can tell Django is installed and which version by
running the followingcommand in a shell prompt (indicated
by the $ prefix):"
+
$ python -m django --version (
You may want to put a screenshot or explain what a shell prompt is. I
was reading this i'm still new to learning this and I didnt know. I
had to look it up. I know that is part of the coding find the answers
and dealing with issues. If someone new to this. Make it easy for them
to start. Without being stopped. Just to get the program going.
