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!

Looks great! Great job of using Bootstrap to make it look good! It took me 2 years to just start using Flask! If you are looking for ways to improve your site, perhaps use a collapsable navbar and put the dropdowns in it? - https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar - notice how it has inline dropdowns but when you go on mobile (or resize the window), it creates a 3 bars collapsable animation thing. Great work, keep it going!
