How I’d Relaunch My Python Web Dev Journey

If I were starting from scratch, I’d kick things off by nailing down the fundamentals—Python basics, HTTP concepts, and working comfortably with tools like Git and VS Code. From there, I’d get hands-on: spin up a Railway project to learn deployment, build simple apps with Flask, then level up to FastAPI for performance. Next comes data—dive into databases and ORMs, lock down authentication & authorization, and tie it all together by building a full project from scratch.

Once you’ve got the basics humming, I’d explore Django’s batteries-included approach, polish your deployment game, and finally tackle advanced techniques (think websockets, caching, testing, CI/CD). Follow that roadmap and you’ll be spending way less time spinning your wheels and way more time actually shipping awesome Python web apps.
