Hi everyone, I’m a newbie and I understand the basic syntax of python to some extents, I have a thing for web development so I chose to learn Django for backend dev but for like a week the whole thing looks strange to me, I following YouTube tutorials but am not getting it yet, so please I need suggestions, do I need to go back to python syntax from beginner to intermediate level? What are those things I need to know that would help me demystify the mystery behind Django, this is what am passionate about but am somehow confused at the moment.

Thanks in anticipation.

Since Django is written in Python, you should know enough Python to understand it do really good code. If you are well versed in other computer languages, I recommend the book Fluent Python. It is not for newbies to programming however.

I find the Django Tutorial from the project itself, https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/intro/tutorial01/, very helpful and reasonably easy to follow.

Two years ago, I had no idea what python programming language was and what it could be used for. I started learning python because a friend of mine told me about it. I got to know, and started using django after a year of learning and working with python. Now, have successfully developed and deployed about 5 apps. The thing is, python is a versatile programming language and know it to a great extent before diving into django, would really make the django learning process smooth. I suggest you learn python, not just the syntax before going back to django or any framework written in python for that matter.
