Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Django

    The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.

  • I would suggest you start out with Django, since you already know some python, and try to create some basic CRUD applications. Server-side rendered at first, throw some html/css at the front end, and expand from there. If you need something dynamic, you can try jQuery or alpinejs. After you get somewhat comfortable with those, you can look into single page applications (React, Vue or even frameworks built on top of them - Next, Nuxt, etc.). With those the back end usually is a REST API.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  • So to summarize: Python > Django > HTTP basics > HTML + CSS > CSS Framework (Bootstrap, Tailwind) > JS > etc.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
