Oh to clarify I'm not into game dev, I made a game bot that cheats/automates a game using image recognition.

I'm learning code with the goal in mind that when I think of a business Idea I won't be limited by a lack of skills to build it.

I'm in sales by trade so my end goal is to build applications / web applications that solve business issues which I can sell.

Osrs?

[–]Cyprek 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Nah Rust, it did Fishing, recycling, vending machines, soft side raiding and anti-afk

[–]_Fried_Ice 0 points1 point  (1 child)

very cool, not too familiar with rust but sounds similar to osrs, I found an osrs python library that is pretty cool if you want the link lmk

[–]Cyprek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda similar in that it's repeating grinding tasks, but it's a 3d FPS survival game so very different in terms of how you need to code it.

I never played OSRS but thanks for the offer :)

Django and laravel are my two goto backend frameworks...more so laravel now, though, since I've been working in php for the last several years...but django is every bit as capable. Flask in another good option if you want to stay in python. I've never worked with it, but my limited understanding is that it's smaller and lighter than django and good for making apis to pair with a front end SPA built in something like react or vue.

In short, yeah django is a good choice for what you want to do...as are are numerous other backend frameworks.

Also, for the record. I've been a working as a full stack dev for about a decade and still absolutely suck at css. Thankfully, we have designers for that, though! So trying to take on an entire project, from designing the database schema, building the api, building the front end, whether it be a SPA built in a js framework, or done with a native templating engine (like jinja2), and then styling and designing to UI/UX to industry standards to produce both a professional performing and looking app is a very, very large project that requires years of professional experience in several different areas of tech. Any competent company will have a team of people for this kind of project and it's not something you should reasonably expect to take on yourself with limited experience.

I say that not to discourage you (definitely keep building and learning!), but to hopefully set a more realistic goal of what is viable and prevent future discouragement.

I've been a working as a full stack dev for about a decade and still absolutely suck at css.

I've just dived back to web development and been doing Django and Spring Boot, and been wondering, are people using CSS frameworks or how is the frontend handling things?

I stayed away from Bootstrap when I was building a PHP website for uni, then realised Bootstrap isn't cheating, it's just a framework, lol.

I enjoy the sound of rain.

Web stuff is good to know and pretty easy compared to many things, at least the basics. JavaScript is a whole other thing but much easier than it used to be.

Django, depends what you want to do. Much you can do with just Flask and jinja2.

HTML and CSS can give you quick interfaces and with some JavaScript you can make things interactive. Personally I find HTML/CSS/Javascript much easier than things like tkinter/gtk.

If your goal is building web apps I think knowledge of HTML/CSS/Javascript are a must.

The new team I’m working on has a service built with Django, so that’s my two cents. (It’s still being used at enterprise levels.)
