I had an idea for a web application. I knew that I'd have to develop it because describing what I can see the web application can do is hard, and paying someone else to build it is expensive. And so, with an idea I set out in search of the right programming language.
The irony is that I have no real programming experience. I've been a business consultant and analyst for over 2 decades. I have experience as a visual developer with a workflow stack. However, I've never build an application with actual code. The more I researched the more obvious it became that Python was the language to start with.
On April 15, 2021 I purchased a 100 day boot camp for Python from Udemy. It's now June 24th and I'm 58 days in. In addition to Python, I've also discovered HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, Flask, Jinja, and JS. And I know I'll have to get my head around SQLite3, and may have to extend beyond Flask to Django or Rust to really build this Web Application out.

Oh, did I mention that I'm 50 years old?
What an amazing journey this is turning out to be. Here's some screenshots of the front end built in Flask/PyCharm that is shaping up a bit more than 2 months into this journey.
