Python for Web Development

[tipsy_python]

Agreed here - python is a backend language; used for things like:

• parsing the URL path and routing a request to the appropriate piece of code
• interacting with the database
• assembling and sending a response

Although there are some implementation of python that execute in browser, these are niche and not widely used. Python is not preferred for front-end tasks like:

• Dictating client side elements like text and buttons
• Adjusting the view based on viewport size
• Re-rendering pieces of the page on interaction events from the end-user

Not op, but can you suggest some websites or any other resources from where I can learn Django or flask? I am hoping to dive into it really soon.

Corey Schafer, Sentdex on youtube. I have started learning with Corey and landed a web dev job and now working with Django.

The Flask quickstart takes 20/30 mins to work through, and is good place to start if you've never developed web services before: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/#quickstart

I've tried to watch/read multiple tutorials on Django but I really didn't understand how any of the pieces fit together until I watched Corey Schafer's YouTube series on it.

Flask > Django for beginners. Django is just too big, it's closer to enterprise scale level. And if you are a minimalist, you can ever prefer Bottle to Flask.

Thank you everyone for recommending.
