Python and Django Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp

Its great to find something so useful that you also enjoy. Have you started on any of the courses that lead you to create projects with python ? Perhaps look into those that use django or flask...? I haven't either, thats next on my list. Hopefully next week.

web dev? Then as others are saying, HTML/CSS/JS are standards. Udemy have some decent stuff; I think there's a good web dev one by Jose Portillo centred around Django that includes a lot of what you need [https://www.udemy.com/course/python-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/]

What do you think about this course?

What do you think about this course? I'm interested mostly in django part but I am total beginner so everything in this course should be useful. My problem is: It's all about django 1.1 when at the moment there is django 3.x I believe.

Is it worth it or is it waste of money? Any other cheap course?

This one did the trick for me: link.

I’d say once you get to the project mockups just skip it and start building your own project while learning how to navigate the documentation—which is amazing. The course also teaches Jquery which people may sneer at but imo everyone should know basic Jquery before learning more modern frameworks/libs like Angular or React. Have fun!

Just to add on to anyone who is interested, this is the course I took to get me started. Almost exactly 6 months to the day after I started this course I got a job as a full-stack developer. It wasn't the easiest doing it that fast. I spent almost everyday, 12 hours a day behind my computer but I was desperate for change and fell in love with the technology.

I bought this course for my nephew for $14, it's well worth it.

Work through these tutorials and you're set

Small companies are usually more likely to take a risk on hiring someone without experience, and most of these companies usually look for someone who can work across the entire stack, so maybe being laser focused on one thing isn't going to give you the best chance of getting a job?

Also, being self taught, I found YouTube was really difficult to follow through any kind of long term course structure, its just all over the place, and you are putting yourself in an environment that embraces distractions.

Idk how this course still stands today, but at the time this was my entry point to web development https://www.udemy.com/course/python-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/

From here I built my own API, then started learning React to build a simple UI, and finally used that experience to start looking for and getting a job as a fullstack developer. I spent about 6 months total before I started applying for jobs. Then it took about a month and a half to finally get an offer, and the cool thing was that I got 3 offers within a week.

There's a great site run by Dan Bader Real Python I recommend to sign up for a newsletter right away. So, they have a lot of tutorials and videos on various Python-related topics, Django included. Right now I'm learning Django on Udemy course by Jose Portilla, reference the well-written Django docs and Django Girls are also cool way to learn!

Critique my Learning plan for Data Engineering?

I have completed a data analyst internship and am set to graduate in december 2020 with a stats degree. Ideally, I would like to get an entry level Data Engineer job, if not that, then a Backend Engineer job or a Data Analyst.

I have decent experience with SQL and Python from my internship (though my python still needs some work), some rudimentary unix and git knowledge too.

I am currently doing the Data Engineer track on Datacamp. It seems pretty easy so far, thought its pretty good for learning different technologies (surface level at least).

After the Data Engineering track, I plan to do: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-python-mega-course/. The python project course and some projects on my own to improve on my python skills.

I read that backend engineering has a lot of overlap with data engineering, so its good to know some. Django:https://www.udemy.com/course/python-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/.

For Data Engineering theory and cloud practice, I plan on doing: https://www.udemy.com/course/data-engineering-on-google-cloud-platform/ and https://www.udemy.com/course/sql-nosql-big-data-hadoop/.

My Questions are: 1) Is this enough to land an entry level data engineering job?

2)The datacamp tracks delves into Scala and Spark a bit too. Are there any others resources that I should look into? How important is knowing Scala, considering now Pyspark is almost as good as Scala Spark.

3)Should I spend more time learning Java or Scala? I'm worried I may be pigeonholing myself if I spent a lot of time on Scala, considering its not really used outside of DE and Java is among the most used language out there.

4) Is the web development course worth doing? I noticed an increasing amount of data engineers need to have a decent knowledge of this to present their final solutions to the business and for the business or the DS team to use.

5) Queuing and Streaming systems such as Kafka and Spark Streaming. Not sure what the best way to learn this. I guess:https://www.udemy.com/course/apache-kafka-for-beginners/ https://www.udemy.com/course/kafka-streams-real-time-stream-processing-master-class/

6) For SQL, can some recommend a more advanced course? I know joins, aggregates, create and insert, subqueries. Not so good with window functions and DB theory

7) Am I missing any other resources . Any other tips/resources would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time!

https://www.udemy.com/course/python-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/ - this is an excellent resource for learning Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Django, SQL - you name it! Everything you need to get a job.

And while you're at, consider checking out my personally crafted resource: https://github.com/huangsam/ultimate-python - which is an ultimate Python study guide for newcomers and professionals alike. All code samples can be run as scripts.

As far as I'm aware, there has been no huge jumps between Django versions. If there are, they are usually well documented in their documentation. It's likely the Python version that's giving them problems.

If you're talking about this course, I'd say it is outdated. No one creating a new web project uses jQuery. The CSS section doesn't teach you flexbox which is a huge part of modern CSS. According to the reviews, the instructor teaches Django 1 which is unsupported already.

Personally, I'd take a Python course and then proceed to Django documentation. I learn better on text so here are some resources I recommend:

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python (Chapters 0-7 will suffice)
• Official Python Documentation (This is for Python 3.7; You can stop at Chapter 9.5)
• Official Django Documentation

Sure, happy to help.

I am taking my nephew through this course at present and finding it to have everything (don't pay more than $15 as it's always on special)

Also this is a great free resource
