How to Re-Learn Python Web Dev from Scratch

Think of this as your express roadmap: start by nailing down core Python concepts and tooling (editors, package managers, Git, etc.), then spin up your first deployable app on Railway (they even throw in free credits). From there, dive into lightweight frameworks—Flask for basics, FastAPI for speed—and layer in databases/ORMs and auth so you’re building real-world features.

Once you’ve got those building blocks, tackle a full-blown project to cement your skills, then explore Django’s batteries-included magic. Finally, master deployment strategies and sprinkle in advanced techniques (think WebSockets, caching, CI/CD) to round out your toolkit.
