100 days of python by Angela Yu, she does also nice graphics and really clear beginner friendly explanations

and lots of practice as you are encouraged to code along with the video

Angela Yu's course gets recommended everywhere for good reason but if web dev is the goal you might want to jump into Flask or Django tutorials sooner rather than later since Python basics alone wont get you building sites

I actually had both of her web dev and python course. I ditched the web dev course. It's not a good course. It's better to watch courses from universities for a variety of reasons. The teaching level is in a whole different level when the tutor is a good one from a good university. Plus her web dev bootcamp is all over the place.

try these if you are comfortable with the basics

fastapi, Django, Flask, each have their own official tutorial, learn how to use an ORM, UV or Pip, work with a database MySQL/Postgres, or Mongo

Pick one, and build something more sophisticated, with Auth, Crud, and maybe have cron, websockets, rabbitMQ or smth that makes your project stand out, try to have automated unit and integration tests, >90% test coverage etc most beginner projects just skip all these

then learn docker, kubernetes, how to provision a VM or deploy your code to the cloud, CI/CD, try to avoid render or vercel unless you're just deploying your own apps, most companies would prefer AWS/GCP/Azure for safety, uptime guarantees and all that

but yeah Python is just for back-end but for UI or frontend, it's mostly JS or HTMX

Ok for front end js
I fine with basics but i don’t remember all syntax (ik basic ones)or modules i have to check then i can code thats fine right?

yes, even experienced developers have 2 windows open, one for the IDE, one for google/chatGPT/docs

just do what you know, and if you get stuck then google or ask gpt

Get a handle of this book. It is the gold standard in my opinion if you want to learn Python. Its title states it all:

Learning Python, 6th Ed., Mark Lutz

Very comprehensive so its starts with beginner material up to advanced and everything in between. Just have a Python editor open so that you can test code as you're reading along. Practice, as they say, makes perfect.

Dr Charles “chuck” Severance has a fantastic MOOC python course. I’ve done Angela Yus too. It’s good but I prefer Chuck’s (his is free I think on his site but I did it through Coursera). He even has a Django course too on his site (and many others). Different teaching styles.

if you love reading try learn python the hard way. It's well structured and explains a lot of 'whys'in python.
