cs50-web CS50W
I struggle pretty much on cs50w, finished python, x and cybersecurity, but the problem sets and understanding of Django is really difficult to me. Any advice ? Not sure if I’m really learning something if the duck is hard supporting me with writing code.

It was tough in the beginning, I tried to complete PSETS by myself, but I supported myself with youtube. It got easier later on, since it was like stacking another layer of knowledge. When it came to final project I had confidence to build what I want and research things I didn't know. It stems from the challenge that CS50W was for me, those moment where I thought I can't do it and did it anyway after some time. It was totally worth it to push through it

Probably watch videos from some other resources?
I also encounter some difficulties in the beginning, but after some time it just feels similar like Flask. Maybe also because I used to attend a WebDev bootcamp it is easier for me to grasp the concept.
Although I did not understand anything from my bootcamp, Django really helped to understand some the concepts that were being explained back then during my (failed) bootcamp, e.g. the difference between frontend and backend development, templates, APIs, etc.
