Hello, Im very new at django and I want to develop the dashboard of a website. I am working at the backend at the moment and I need to find a way to make my graphs work. For this I found many funcitons that I might need in the “views” file of another view of the website and I want to incorperate those in my dashboard so I can use them in the html of the dashboard. How do I do this fast without knowing a lot about django? So to conclude my goal is to connect the “views” file in python with my html of the dashboard so I can use more variables. ---

Just how “new” are you? Are you just starting out, or do you have a project or two under your belt? If you’re just starting out, I always recommend people work their way through either (or both) of the [Official Django Tutorial](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/tutorial01/) or the [Django Girls Tutorial](https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/). The goal with these isn’t to complete them as quickly as possible, but to understand what you’re doing at each step. If you’ve done a couple other projects already, then the question you need to figure out is “How is this different?” from what you’ve worked on in the past.
