How I Would Learn Python Web Development If I Started Over

Imagine hitting the reset button on your Python skills and diving into web dev with a clear roadmap: start by nailing down fundamental concepts and essential tools (think Git, virtual environments and basic syntax), then get cozy with deployment on a platform like Railway to see your work live fast. From there, move on to lightweight frameworks—Flask and FastAPI—to build APIs, layer in databases and an ORM, and tackle authentication and authorization so your apps can handle real users securely.

Next up, it’s all about practice: pick a full–stack project that combines backend, frontend and DB work to cement your knowledge. Once that’s solid, explore Django for a more “batteries-included” approach, learn proper deployment strategies, and finally dive into advanced techniques to scale and optimize your apps. Each step builds on the last so you spend less time spinning your wheels and more time shipping real code.
