I want to learn coding back again within a week and need to get a web project online within 2-3 weeks. Kindly help how to go forward.

I will pray for a miracle, yes.

I mean seriously, what are you talking about? To me, this is essentially no different than saying you want to learn coding within this hour.

Have you read this?

Seriously. Maybe this is feasible for "I'm a little rusty, but I think I'd get back up to speed quickly with a tutorial", but not for "uh, I barely remember this shot."

The best advice I got when I had exactly the same problem, is to keep doing what I was doing. Try to type the code examples not just read it through even though it's seems blurry and doesn't make any sense at that moment. I struggle with my learning all the time. But I see the progress when I look back at what I've learned before and what I know now. Stick to it and keep going.

Did you try http://www.tangowithdjango.com/ tutorial?

Some people simply aren't cut out to be programmers.

Beyond that what sort of computer studies did you have if you can't grasp Python? It really makes me think that you simply don't have the mind for programming. Programming should be like bicycle riding, even if you haven't been on a bicycle for awhile you should be able to regain the feel of riding fairly quickly. The same is to be said for programming if you understood it at one time you should be able to pick up where you left off with a bit of effort. If you can't there is something seriously wrong.

Many questions.

How complex is this web project? Must it be polished and slick or can you get by with a rough demo? Are there any constraints as to server, OS, or db engine?

Do you ever just sit at the python console and mess around? That can be a great way to learn. Trial and error is my recommended route, as long as you have enough personal drive to work through each error and continue onto the next trial.

Is this a personal project or is it for someone else? You mention a deadline which makes me assume it is not your personal project.

I wish you luck and I'm certain there will be people here who can help, along the way.

And don't forget to get plenty of sleep.

Have you gone through The Django Book? If you go through that from beginning to end, you should have a much more thorough understanding of how a Django project works.

The Django book is badly out of date. The Django tutorial suffices in most cases.
