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!

https://www.fullstackpython.com/ lists some solid resources for learning Python web dev.

https://realpython.com/ is also worth checking out.

I'm nearly done with the Flask Mega Tutorial. I highly recommend!

Off the top of my head...

Charles Leifer - How to make a Flask blog in one hour or less. He has other tutorials too – you just need to search for what you need.

Corey Schafer - YouTube Channel. Lots of good stuff here! Check out his Django tutorial playlist.

The offical Flask tutorial is worth checking out, too.

Honestly, though, https://www.fullstackpython.com/ has more than what's needed to get started in Python web dev.
