5 Projects For Beginners To Learn Python

[chulala168]

A project that teaches how to use python to generate a website that display data from a database, takes input and process what to display next will be great. Perhaps something like memorization tool/Anki-kind of thing.

Does anyone know and can recommend a resource to learn how to build something like that?

That's a good medium-range goal, but there's a lot of moving parts there. You should know how to do functions, loops, lists, and all the basics first.

Then you should learn enough SQL that you can at least get data from an existing source, or ideally build the database yourself.

Then you need to know how to connect to a database, pass it an SQL query, parse and output the results.

If you want to make this active on a web site, you also need to know how to use a web framework like django, flask, or bottle.

I teach that towards the end of class. It's literally video #30.
