How I’d Re-Learn Python Web Dev

If I were starting from scratch, I’d kick things off by nailing down the fundamentals—basic Python syntax, version control with Git, and the core web trio (HTML, CSS, JS). Then I’d get my hands dirty with tools like Railway for painless deployment before diving into microframeworks. Flask gets you building small apps fast, FastAPI shows you how to craft lightning-fast APIs, and once you’ve got that under your belt, you tackle databases, ORMs, plus the ever-important authentication and authorization bits.

After that foundation, I’d ship a full end-to-end project to glue everything together, then level up with Django for “batteries-included” power. Finally, I’d wrap up by mastering deployment strategies (think containerization and CI/CD) and exploring advanced topics like async programming, testing, and performance tuning. That way you spend way less time scratching your head and way more time building cool stuff.
