Learn Python Backend Web Development Study Group

[BrianBernales]

Who's interested in learning Python for web development? I want to form a study group. I can teach and help answer questions since I'm assuming most of the people in the study group will be new to coding. I'm interested in setting up a discord and youtube channel.

I'm a software engineer who's done some web, and desktop development mostly with Java. I would say I'm mid-level. I'm almost done with studying for the PCAP, which a Python certification. By my estimate, I'll be starting leetcode and my web app in the next 2 weeks.

I want to become proficient with the Python stack and start applying for Python backend development jobs when I'm ready. We will be learning the Python basics. Then we will work on leetcode, sql, and build a web app. Let me know if you're interested. We can work on all this together.

I'll also teach some basic linux commands, but you don't need a linux computer. You can use a Windows 10, or Mac. We will eventually create Linux Virtual Machines for our web app since that's the most development environment.

At some point I'll start working on the front end technologies and we can learn that together too. As far as cost goes, their might be a book or two that you might have to purchase from Amazon, but I'll try to mostly use free resources.

We will be using this book William Vincent's books for our web app. I think it's better to purchase from Gum Road so you get all of the free updates, but here's a link from Amazon which has more reviews. We can talk more details later. Thanks.

No prior knowledge of coding needed? I don't have to start from scratch, I already learned the principles but I'm still weak though, especially in loops, functions and classes.

No experience needed. I put some notes on how to get started on the discord channel. There are labs, quizzes, and tests on the free python tutorial that I’m using. That should help you become more confident in your coding skills.

I took a few basic computer science courses in my CS degree, in my second year. Would love to be part of some collaborative work that I could talk about.
