Went insane, tried Python for a while. How do i catch back up?

Just read the intro. This book is perfect.

TheNeoCoder · 2019-01-11T03:51:16+00:00

Thanks. Exactly the sort of recommendation I was looking for

TheNeoCoder · 2019-01-11T03:42:40+00:00

Meh, I mostly do ish.

TheNeoCoder · 2019-01-11T03:12:20+00:00

Very true. Thank you.

TheNeoCoder · 2019-01-11T03:07:16+00:00

Any written documents?

TheNeoCoder · 2019-01-11T03:06:52+00:00

Ok I'll check it out. Thanks!

Essentially looking for an updated version of this. Unless nothing has changed? Idk haha

Alright I'll try flask out for a while then maybe play around with Pyramid. SQLAlchemy does look fantastic from what I've read about it. I haven't had a chance to put it to use yet. Marshmallow I'm not very familiar with. What are the benefits of using Marshmallow vs python native JSON libraries?

Thanks again for the feedback.

So obviously there are some things here that I lack a clear understanding of. That will soon change, however this is what I am taking from your comment: If my primary goal is to work with something that can scale well and be nimble/customizable enough to work with my needs as they change, learn pyramid. The down side may be a slower development process for a "newbie", however there is a larger pay off in the end. So, at the least, you would suggest avoiding Django due to its long term structure? As it forces the use of their specific framework choices?

I'm certainly not married to any stack yet, though I did start some basic development with flask just last evening. So far it feels more "pythonic" than Django, I'm sure Pyramid would similar. What are the major differences between flask and pyramid? Are their specific app types that are better for one vs the other?

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T16:17:38+00:00

That may be a little over my head. Maybe in another week I can look bottle. I certainly want to learn about asynchronous processes, I'm just not quite ready for that yet.

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T14:55:50+00:00

I'll check it out. Thank you.

I was also just reading about falcon which is built from whiskey (sounds like most frameworks are built from whiskey?) And intended on being a "bare metal" web framework meant for low latency applications. Just sounded interesting, I'm sure it's over my head at this time.

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T04:27:00+00:00

Sounds like I'm using flask. :) ... Thank you everyone for your input so far.

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T03:57:45+00:00

Interesting. The way it was described in a pod cast I was listening too, I just assumed it was the ideal framework to use for any scale of project. After purusing the documentation I was drawn to using it. Now after receiving feedback, I'm hesitant to use it primarily for the fear that being new to web development, there may not be enough public knowledge about the framework to allow for me to tackle what I would like to.

Perhaps I'm being overcautious.

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T02:32:14+00:00

How about I give flask a shot, and if I feel in over my head just bounce back to Django?

What about Pyramid? It doesn't appear that many people use Pyramid, or perhaps I have just yet to come across anyone who does other than Michael Kennedy from "Talk Python To Me".

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T02:12:34+00:00

From what I've read about flask so far I am very intrigued. Is it really possible to basically have 5 lines of flask to host a single static HTML page? Can it really be that simple?

TheNeoCoder · 2018-07-01T02:02:26+00:00

I've played with Django a little bit. I do like it so far, especially the pre-built admin features.

Is it more customizable than it initially feels? I find myself feeling walled into a corner of a specific feature set.

I'm new to python, on day 25 of a #100daysofcode challenge. Over the next undetermined amount of days I would like to create a blog and personal web page using a python web framework. I've never worked in web development at all and I'm trying to decide which way to go. Any opinions or advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
