How to start with a web framework using Python?

[Varun Upadhyay]

Hi everyone
I am new to the group and wanted guidance from the fellow pythonists about how to learn a web framework using Python. I tried to learn Django but could not find well instructed documentaion. So are their any resources from where I can learn Django and I am working on windows OS so does that have any effect on my learning capabilities. Should I shift to linux?
Thank you everyone. I am looking forward to learn a lot from this group.

Really? I thought Django was one of the best documented Python projects
out there. You start from
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial01/ and go through
the six sections, you'll have something up and running and can go on
after that.

I don't have much experience with Windows so can't comment there.

Disclaimer : This is not an attempt to start flamewar, just sharing my experience.

Django is very popular python web framework, obviously several people found the documentation useful/simple.

I had tried to learn Django few years ago, and I ended up with same impression (That doc wasn't all that great)

(Couple of years) later, I learnt web2py from their online documentation, and found it very useful (I went on to build 2 products using web2py, they are in production for last 3 and 1.5 years each. web2py google group is AWESOME.)

Recently, I tried to learn DRF (without any background in Django) and found that beyond the sample code that works, I had problem using DRF to my real world requirements. (Ended up using flask based REST API framework)

Once again, I have nothing against Django/DRF. Just sharing my experience.

And eventually most of the programmers come with their own frame work :)

Thanks,

I'm current learner of Django (on the side, hence can't give much time). First I just copied what was being said in a Youtube video - to get some practice. You can search for "Coding for entrepreneurs" at youtube. 

Now since our firm is having internet problems I'm doing the whole tangowithdjango.com which I had already downloaded previously in my hard drive - for any such contingency.

Django can get a bit overwhelming initially, but hang in there and once you're through first few chapters, it starts making sense.
I found this book quite useful when I picked up Django for my project last year.

Alternatively, try web2py of Flask as mandar suggested. But if you have some server-side coding experiences, it shouldn't take too long to learn Django and once you're hooked, you'd love it as well! :-)
