This document summarizes the steps to create a basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) application in Django: 1. Set up a Django project with manage.py and configure the database in settings.py. 2. Create a Django app using manage.py startapp and define a model in the app's models.py. 3. Add the app to INSTALLED_APPS and sync the database. 4. Build out views to handle CRUD functions like listing, adding, editing, and deleting data and link them to URLs. 5. Create templates to display data and forms for user interaction.
