How to Hack Your Python Web Dev Journey

Imagine starting Python web development from zero with a clear roadmap in hand: nail down the fundamentals (data types, control flow, HTTP basics), set up your toolkit (VS Code, Git, virtual environments), and then dive into lightweight frameworks like Flask and FastAPI. Along the way, layer in databases and ORMs, learn how to handle authentication and authorization, and gradually build a full project to cement your skills.

Once you’ve got the hang of it, explore Django’s batteries-included approach, master deployment (think Railway, Docker, or Heroku), and finally experiment with advanced techniques like caching, message queues, and background jobs. This order keeps you coding from day one and minimizes time spent chasing tutorials—because real progress comes from building real things.
