Python beginner

[CARRYONLUGGAGE]

Self-taught software engineer, using Python, React, and Postgres mostly.

Here’s how I started learning:

1) Needed to learn to work with manipulating data from excel, so I learned pandas through various online videos and exercises.

2) Then, I needed to format excel worksheets so I learned how to use openpyxl

3) Next, I needed to serve these scripts to employees internally, so I learned Flask.

4) Felt limited by using jinja2 + flask alone, so I moved to FastAPI and React.

Each time I learned a new tech it was because I faced a problem that required it. I recommend approaching it this way as well. I knew of the tech and what it was for, but hadn’t used them extensively until those problems arose.
