<h1>Introduction</h1>

<p>You're knee deep in learning the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>

programming language. The syntax is beginning to make sense. The first

few "AHA!" moments are hitting you. Now you are excited for continued

direction to accelerate your learning.</p>

<p>This guide explains each piece of a Python web stack. If you want to deploy

a web application built with Django, Flask, Pyramid, or another

Python-based web framework, you've come to the right place.</p>

<p>There are a few other fantastic Python guides that you may want to read if

you're not yet ready to deploy your application.</p>

<p>For general Python learning, read Kenneth Reitz's

<a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/">The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python</a>.</p>

<p>To get an introduction to both Python and Django at the same time, purchase

<a class="reference external" href="http://www.realpython.com/">Real Python</a> by Fletcher, Michael, and Jeremy.</p>

<p>To deploy a Python web application to the Heroku platform-as-a-service

(described below in this guide), check out

<a class="reference external" href="http://www.deploydjango.com/">Deploying Django</a> by Randall Degges.</p>

<p>If you're not coming in with any software development background,

you may also find my post on

<a class="reference external" href="http://www.mattmakai.com/learning-python-for-non-developers.html">Learning Python</a>

useful.</p>

<p>This guide has a different focus from the above resources. Here I

focus on explaining the way a Python <em>web application</em> stack works from

server infrastructure to the JavaScript that executes on a user's browser.</p>

<p>People learning Python generally have at least one of the three following

goals:</p>

<li>Build web applications</li>

<li>Process, analyze, and visualize data</li>

<li>Script server administration</li>

</ol>

<p>This guide will be most useful to people building web applications and

scripting server administration.</p>
