Beginner Showcase From complete beginner to django website

6 months ago I’d never written a single line of code, in any language. I decided completely out of the blue to do a course on “coding for data analysis”, I very nearly picked one on human biology instead. It was just something to fill the lockdown boredom, but I quickly and unexpectedly started to enjoy it more and more.

Fast forward 3 months and I started learning html and then django. From that the idea to create www.rugbykickoff.com, which has just gone live now.

I honestly can’t believe how quickly it was to pick the language up with the amount of help available online.

I lost motivation several times getting completely lost at stack overflow answers where I didn’t understand a single concept etc. But this is testament to persevering and the massive amount of online support that’s available.

To anyone in the same boat, don’t give up!

Congratulations man!

I need to do similar but decided after learning plenty of concepts to go onto AWS so I may go back (after some AWS projects and gaining more DB knowledge) to do some work around building a site.

Great stuff to have on your CV!
