Are there any good self paced learning courses on webdev with web2py? So far I am enjoying learning how to make websites with web2py. I don't mind spending a little money on courses or learning material, but I really only do this as a hobby so I'm not interested in shelling out several grand for courses that offer college credits, degrees, certificates, or any of those intensive bootcamps. Looking at other online courses offered that aren't in web2py I see some really good ideas for projects I would like to be able to build. One site, for example, had a netflix clone as a final project with ruby on rails, complete with commerce and everything you would need. Unfortunately the site was very expensive and not in web2py:(
Playing around with php a while back before I found web2py I remember following several teach yourself projects but found them to be incomplete. For example, there were a lot of build a blog tutorials but the end result was a form to enter blog entries and a page that grabbed entries from the db and displayed them. I didn't like this because the end result was a blog you couldn't actually use, there was no search features, no tagging, no commenting, no user auth, etc. I can build simple sites, so I'm not looking for an introductory course. For example, the last site I made with web2py was for my friends school with the following: -School information, schedules, location, instructors, etc -a blog like feature to post upcoming events. I posted links to only future events on the front page. This behaved similar to a blog -a blog for the owner to blog about his school or whatever else he wanted. Had an archive dropdown menu, comments were working at one point but disabled on request of the owner -2 forms for people to signup or ask questions. A pdf page can be generated based on the information provided, and a link is emailed to the owner. I was originally going to just make a pdf and mail that to the owner as an attachment, but I could never get that working This wasn't too hard to make, but I struggled on a few parts and my code may not exactly be best practice. It would be nice to find tutorials or open courses I could follow with more challenging projects to get me making more complicated sites and breaking any bad habits I may have picked up. Any Suggestions? Thanks -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
