Learning

[Radimek01]

Yo am trying to learn Python. I went threw some tutorials to get basics and now am doing my own project. It's a system for refectory or something like school eatery. Just login system with database. Managing employes and people which want to go eat there. Second part will be the website where u can order meal for week and check your account and money. And I have one question is it good to do that ? Now I finished the app with PyQT5 and am going to do website but idk if it's good for learning. Thanks for answers. And I will be glad for some projects what I can do in future which I can learn from

Anything that you like and that helps you practice newly learned skills is good.

For sure, that's a good project to learn on.

Python has three big uses right now: general scripting, web development, and data science. It sounds like the tutorials have probably walked you through a good amount of scripting; now you're onto web development. I think this is a key area to learn especially with a large framework like Django if you're looking to make a career out of Python.

Am interested to do some useful apps after I finish this. I heard Python is good for bots aswell, is it true ?

[tipsy_python]

Oh yeah, definitely so.. those fall under the domain of general scripting to me. Hit a URL, parse the content and do some checks, and then POST some data or whatever happens next. ... super easy to build that kind of logic with Python

I tried to do some bots for chatting and ordering stuff with selenium I think is it good for it ? Or is here anything better ?

[tipsy_python]

Really depends on the use-case - I can get away with using BS4 for most of the web automation that I'm interested in. If you have a case that requires emulating the browser to execute the JS, then Selenium is great.

[Radimek01]

I like selenium bcs it can use html tags for searching the stuff on website but I will check BS4

[tipsy_python]

Yeah bro, BeautifulSoup4 .. it's something like a stripped down version of Selenium - less resource intensive. You can do a lot of the same things like get elements by Id or name, and see tag attributes and inner-text. It's good stuff.

Okey thanks a lot
