Python Web Development Question

[Campbelden]

Hi Proggit! I've decided to learn how to develop for the web, and I want to learn how to create websites from scratch. So far I've figured out that I need to learn HTML, CSS, and javascript for user-side development. However, I'm having more trouble figuring out what to do for server-side development.

I've heard a lot of good things about Python, and about how it can be used for web development instead of PHP. However, I was wondering if I could completely skip out on learning PHP and solely use Python. If so, how would I go about doing that? I don't really understand how a web framework works, how to get something like Django on a host, and how that all ties in with Apache and WSGI(?). best Python web development courses

My current list of languages to learn is as follows: HTML, CSS, Javascript, MySQL, and Python. Could I make a completely functioning website 2.0 with this knowledge? I know I can only get better with experience; my friend has an idea for a fmylife clone, and I wanted to use his idea for one of my first practice projects, I just don't want to mess up.

Python is indeed a powerful choice for web dev, and you can definitely skip PHP if it's not your thing. Tools like Django, Flask, and FastAPI are excellent frameworks that handle the heavy lifting for you, from routing requests to managing databases.

As I recall, most hosts support Python apps, and deploying Django with Apache and WSGI is easier than it sounds. Once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing.
With your current language lineup, you should be ready to tackle a fully functional website. Seriously, you've got all the tools you'll ever need.
But if you ever hit a roadblock or need a helping hand, remember you can Hire dedicated developers. They're always useful for tasks like these.

Yes, you can definitely use Python for complete web development without learning PHP. Python frameworks like Django or Flask let you handle server-side logic, databases, and routing, so you can build fully functional websites. To deploy a Python site, you typically use a hosting service that supports WSGI, which connects your Python app to a web server like Apache or Nginx. Many hosting mexico providers now offer Python-friendly plans, making it easier to install Django or Flask and run your project online. With your current stack—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, and Python—you can absolutely create a fully functioning website. Starting with a project like a FMyLife clone is a great way to practice integrating front-end and back-end development. Over time, experimenting with different frameworks and deployment methods will build your experience and confidence.
