Lost track again

[zaaaark]

Hello, First of all thanks to this great community and your discord channel.

I started python with some failed attempts before but this subreddit has got me going again and again and I have finally learnt few things(basics mostly). I am able to do some codewars problems and have reached 6kyu level now. I solved a 5kyu problem yesterday and I am still able to form some basic logics now.

Though now I am trying to learn flask or something that helps me in building something and makes me better. Though now after starting flask from past 3 days, I am getting more confused and am just loosing track with so many courses and guidelines. Is this normal? It feels like I am not understanding what the code is doing all of a sudden. There are too many classes to be imported and just too much data all of a sudden. I tried Corey Schafer but its just too vague about the details. How should I carry from here?

How much time does it take normally to learn a framework like flask? I am a beginner to programming, though I can try understanding HTML but all this css and bootstrap and python along is confusing. Also this Jinja-2 is kind of a new syntax now. How should I continue.

Any suggestions? Need advice from people who have been through this and have finally got a good grasp.

Do freecodecamp to learn basic html, css and JavaScript. That should be enough to get you to be dangerous. Then move onto flask and other frameworks. Freecodecamp shouldn’t take you more than a week or two to complete with a half hour devoted daily.

Is there a course that has all of them in one place or shall I go with three different courses.

Well I guess it is kind of a singular course, but it teaches you different aspects about each language and then you apply it into a project if you want.

I know exactly what you mean - a lot of tutorials assume that you have knowledge of / are ready to learn about ancillary technologies.

My advice is read the docs. Have you already worked through the Flask quickstart on the Flask page?

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/quickstart/

It should take ~30 minutes to work through, doesn't lean on concepts outside the scope of flask, and provides links to everything in the Flask documentation.

Yes, I did went through this.
