How I’d Relearn Python Web Dev from Scratch

I’d kick things off by nailing down the fundamentals (HTTP, REST, and basic Python), then get cozy with the essential tools—HTML/CSS/JS, Git, the CLI—and spin up a free Railway project ($20 credit!) to see your code live. After that, dive into Flask for simple apps, level up with FastAPI for speed, and learn how to hook up databases and ORMs.

Next, secure your routes with authentication/authorization, build out a full real-world project, and then explore Django’s batteries-included approach. Finally, master deployment best practices and sprinkle in some advanced techniques (caching, websockets, testing) to really round out your skillset.
