How to Re-learn Python Web Dev from Scratch

If you were starting over today, you’d kick off with the core concepts (data types, control flow, modules) and set up your toolbox (VS Code, Git, pip). Next, spin up a quick project on Railway to see your code live, then dive into Flask for simple routes and templates before leveling up with FastAPI’s modern, async-ready approach.

Once your endpoints are firing, layer in a relational database + ORM, secure things with authentication/authorization, and pull it all together in a full-blown project. Finally, explore Django for “batteries included,” nail down deployment best practices, and sprinkle on some advanced tricks (background tasks, websockets, testing) to become a well-rounded Python web dev.
