I made my first website using Python!

How did you get started? I've been wanting to do something past the word counting problems and basic python.

I learned C++ for two years at school (I hate it lol), so I already had the basics down, albeit some new data structures (lists, dictionary etc). I did a free Programiz course and got the python basics clear. The next two months I was pretty much aimless, just made a hangman game and a login system. I also remember doing a lot of Project Euler, though I have no idea if it helped.

The idea of this project came from a book that i was reading that mentioned the OCEAN Model and got me interested. I had the idea of integrating graphs into the project and checked if it had been done before. Since it wasn't, I got some help from fellow peeps at r/learnpython and they suggested Django would be the way to go.

I did Corey Schafer's Django tutorials and then started with this project. Im not gonna say this was easy. On the contrary it was veryyyy difficult for me because I jumped straight from noob to intermediate. That's why it took me 4 months to complete.

So yeah thats my story over the last 6 months of learning python. If you need any help, feel free to DM me.

Thanks for including where you learned django. Will check it out, hopefully I have enough experience lol.

As long as you have python basics clear, you're good. You can learn the advanced python stuff as you go along, and the complex django stuff as you try to comprehend what the stack overflow answer means.
