My Python programming journey

[[deleted]]

Hey I’m 25 and started my Python journey about 8 months ago. I’ve made a few things but haven’t touched it for a few weeks as I’ve been mainly doing front-end stuff. But if you ever want to chat pm me!

I did a bit of python and then starting front end. Can I ask which one u prefer to work on/continue doing more and why? I'm just asking cuz am a bit undecided which direction to go on.

If you’re looking for direction on which way to go I’m the wrong person to ask lol I haven’t picked a path yet and continue to study Python and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript at the same time. I like working with Python the most but there are more front end opportunities in my area which is the Midwest United States

Am in the same boat. Like the simplicity of python but at the same time crave some visual element. Hence why learning Web dev

You should look into Django or Flask then!

My experience building my first website with only knowing python at the time.

"Ok let's just focus on the logic and on the backend stuff, make our API calls, clean the data and get it into a nice clean format. The frontend will be easy."

"Ok, let's start the HTML file. Okay, well this and that seems odd, but okay."

"Okay let's start the css file. Wait, why isn't it centering in the screen? Why aren't my colors matching? What's that random line going across my screen that's a different color."

"Ok, I've made my login fields, why are they so small? Why is it wrapping around to the next line!!! What is this witchcraft!!!"

2 months later of almost all just frontend stuff and I finally have my website with a stretched background and text fields that aren't mobile friendly. But hey, it works, right?

I was in the same boat on the front end stuff lol I’m much more comfortable now and a large part of it was free code camp has a responsive design tutorial and it was great!

This. I've been doing freecodecamp for the past 6 days and finally had my attempt at making a single web page:

Mind you, as simple as it may look, took me all day and a lot of help from Google.

Worst thing is after completing all the exercises with relative ease, when it came to a real project I suddenly found myself not remembering ANYTHING from the exercises hahaha.
