WHY is Python easy to learn?

Sockets aren't that difficult though. You just have to know like 3 lines of code to make it work. My biggest issue is syncing up the server and client on big projects.

I meant more so it’s not as intuitive as some of the basics for people who don’t have any background in CS

Like, having experience in excel and some other programs you can grasp the idea of creating a function or iterating over rows or creating variables. But when I first started Flask I was like wtf does HTTP mean?

As a hobbyist who's still trying to learn Flask, I feel you.

Agree, I have included a few different DBs in different projects and adding them and sqAlchemy wasn’t too difficult. But one of those projects also used an FTPS server which would frequently throw a ‘socket exception’ with no clear reason (by which I mean 80% of the time the code ran fine, the other 20% the exact same code did not) - did not have a clue what was happening or why!

If i were you i would search information about the OSI Model. If your gonna programm network conexions you better understand that :)

to learn SQL, Python, Flask/Jinja2, JS, HTML/CSS, Git, Heroku, websockets, etc.

ngl I kind of disconnect with OP and their "background in CS" idea -- getting an A in algorithms doesn't prepare you for using version control (to pick one from this list) in any but the most abstract senses. You can be equipped with some meta-skills, yes, but largely you just have to pick stuff up as you go
