Web development is very a very hard problem, largely because it involves quite a few different domain-specific languages that you have to be proficient in. It's not just a matter of Python and Django. You must also have a good working knowledge of html, css, javascript, SQL (or some other database engine, and even though Django abstracts the database somewhat), and how they all interconnect and interact with each other. So at this stage of the game, get some Python experience. Then mess with html, css, javascript on their own (static pages). After than then you'll be ready to add Django to the mix and also get some basic database experience. And judging by how much custom web applications cost these days, once you've mastered all this, you'll be in a position to make a lot of money. Not joking either! Web developers are some of the smartest people I know, and in the highest demand, because they work so well with such complex systems. In this area, node.js is getting very popular. I don't care much for javascript but using it on the server as well as the web browser itself reduced the number of languages you have to know by one. > BIG SMILE...
