TL;DR

If I were starting Python web development from scratch today, I’d begin by mastering the fundamentals—variables, control flow, virtual environments—and get comfortable with tools like Git, pip and your favorite editor. Next, I’d deploy a simple app on Railway to see how hosting works in practice before diving into frameworks (Flask for microservices, FastAPI for high-performance APIs).

Once the basics are locked in, I’d tackle databases & ORMs, authentication & authorization, and build a full-stack project from start to finish. Finally, I’d explore Django’s all-in-one approach, nail down deployment best practices, and sprinkle in advanced techniques to level up your skills.
