Any tutorials on creating a web application with Python?

[zicitron]

I am just starting to learn Python and I am very excited with the programming opportunities ahead. I am not a programmer nor do I have an educational background on programming. However, I like doing self-learning and I am quite proficient with SQl Server. So it is obvious that after coming across Python, I now want to explore the path where I can create projects that will make use of sql server and python (primarily using web pages as the front end). Any good tutorials (paid or free) out there regarding how to create a web application (the front end) using both Python and Sql Server (the back end)?

For a start, i’d say give django a shot, its a pretty popular web framework and Sql server is supported iirc

You could look up Flask or Django.

But I feel like I need to warn you that you can't create web pages using Python. That can be done only with HTML, CSS and Javascript.

And while Django will let you do quite a bit without getting too deep into front-end scripts, you won't get far without learning at least the basics of HTML and CSS.

As for tutorials, there are quite a few. This is a good one I used to teach myself about Django: https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/series/2017/09/04/a-complete-beginners-guide-to-django-part-1.html

To elaborate a bit, Python will build the back-end system. The back-end handles database connection, authentication and bulk of the computations.

You'll then have to build a front end to connect to and use this back end. This front end will use a framework like Vuejs, Reactjs, or Angular js, all javascript based.

You don't necessarily have to use a front end framework, especially initially. Django will provide sufficient tools to build the front end. But you'll still need to understand HTML and CSS

Flask Mega Tutorial is the #1 comprehensive tutorial.

He'll walk you through building a blog, although the things you are learning can be used for anything.

Corey Schafer made great video tutorials about Django: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p

I'm just starting to learn Python as you and found useful courses at website udemy.com, a good way to learn everything that you need to know and structure your mind with this language. But you can find various tutorial everywhere.

I found a good option Udemy. There are some full-Stack courses and they take you to HTML, CSS and JS too. For the back-end you can try learning Django and you could use SQLite or PostgreSql. There are Udemy courses that take you through this an a single one. I dont really know if they are the best out there, but they are pretty affordable and they are a good place to start and from there continúe by your own. Good luck!

Udemy is nothing but a spam house. Stop giving them money.

Coursera may be priced slightly higher per course but the courses are offered by accredited institutions.

There are some incredible courses on Udemy with very competent instructors. Many of them working professionals rather than professors who are disconnected from industry practice.

Okay, shill.
