MHB What what should I do while learning programming?

[shivajikobardan]

Here is what I have planned to do-:
1) Do 1 course.
2) Buy a python textbook and solve it exercises and examples.
3) Solve 250 codewars problems
4) Do numerical methods in python.
5) Do cryptography algorithms in python.
Will this be enough for my learning to be good enough to be a web developer in python? (I Need to learn django afterwards I know that). IWTL.

Hi shivajikobardan,

Your question is very generic and I do not really think anyone here will have an answer that will help you.
If anything, the only way to learn anything, is to just start learning/doing it whatever that means.

If you have more specific questions about something you don't understand or something you are struggling with, then we might be able to help you better.

thanks man. I will not ask these questions here anymore.

LOL. Don't leave over this, you just got here.

It's hard to answer this question in a paragraph or even 10 pages, but I think the best way to learn Python is practice. Courses help in the very, very beginning but nothing helps more than building something real. I've been doing this the past 2 years and have gone from a total newb in Python to decent. The only thing that helped me was being very bad and needing it to work, asking others to review code I wrote, reading good code, then repeating.

What type of web application do you want to build?

What type of web application do you want to build?

I want to build dynamic websites and static websites.

Any particular reason to pick the language python for web development?
Javascript might be a more appropriate choice.

Ok but this is like all websites, they can either be static or dynamic. If you don't have any logic that needs to be run on the backend in Python like a machine learning flow then I agree that it's not the easiest way to go about this.

That said Flask is a decent place to start and very common with Python web apps. I like this Youtube channel: https://www.techwithtim.net/tutorials/flask/a-basic-website/

I am from Nepal. there are more django jobs than javasript ones. Also learning python seems to be very essential nowadays.
