Honestly I don't think that web development is that much trickier than learning how to do anything with Python. There's inputs, there's outputs, you can have a half decent REPL loop, etc.
For me the biggest hurdle by far is deployment. It's honestly impossible to describe how much of a gulf there is between those who see it as a completely trivial matter and to those who don't know what's going on.
- elbear 13y agoI disagree. You also need to learn how the web works, about requests and responses, and handling user input through forms, etc. What part of the deployment process are you having difficulty with?
- RodericDay 13y agoThat's all very intuitive to me. I want a tutorial that starts with "You want an app to do X with your friends, like an imitation of Doodle for planning Dungeons and Dragons sessions? The real way? Set aside $X money/month, book a domain name, and we're going to set up a real website, incrementally, and publicly available at every step along the way." Stuff like Heroku people make sound like it's a one stop shop but it feels like it hides too much and you don't have access to your files like you do in your desktop. It's an environment conducing to pushing out stuff quick, not learning.
- elbear 13y agoThanks for the detailed answer. I'm actually planning on creating a course and this is very valuable information. I can let you know when it's done.
