How I Would Learn Python Web Development If I Started Over

Imagine rebuilding your Python web dev skills from the ground up without wasting time on outdated tutorials. Start by nailing down fundamental concepts (variables, control flow, data structures) and getting comfortable with essential tools like Git, VS Code, and a solid grasp of HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Then jump into deployment early—Railway’s free credits make it easy—so you learn real-world ops as you code.

From there, tackle microframeworks like Flask and FastAPI to understand routing and async workflows, layer in databases and ORMs, then lock down authentication and authorization. Once you’ve got a simple full-stack project under your belt, explore Django for batteries-included development, polish your deployment strategies, and finally level up with advanced techniques like background tasks, caching, and testing. Happy building!
