Where to store data for small personal web project?

pymoondra — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 03:07:22 +0000

I am working on two small personal projects:

one involves financial data (daily open,close, high, low)
two involves text files with urls

Is there a free storage service that I can use to read data from?
I plan to use Python to read the data.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I've been using Python for a few years now mainly for scripting and for data science/machine learning hobbyist projects.

Now, I want to learn more about web technologies.

I really want to learn what's involved in building complex websites.

Some websites I thought were pretty interesting and would like to see what's involved in building them are:

A video game message board such as this:

https://www.resetera.com/

Freelance site such as Fiverr
Private video chats like Discord or video streams like Twitch
Controlling robotics via online interface
Ecommerce sites
How browser pluggins work! How do people create adblock pluggins, or various types of pluggins.

and much, much more.

There are so many web frameworks and languages I'm not sure what I should be learning. I'm really confused.

Should I be learning Python sockets to understand more low-end stuff?

I've learned the basics of html, css and javascript.
I was thinking of learning Jquery and React, to learn more about front end, but it seems most of the complicated tech revolves around back-end tech.

I've learned a little bit about rest apis and crud.

It seems I need a backend language and a framework as well as
Since I know Python, I can go with Flask and Django.
However, I wonder if Django will be able to build those complex sites I have listed above.

From my research it seems Ruby on Rails as well as PHP/Laravel are also pretty popular. Are they easier to learn than Django?
Is Nodejs worth learning or should I go with Go instead?

Basically I am thinking of learning something really flexible.
Should I watch some lectures/courses on all of them to get an idea? Do they all basically do the same thing?

Then we have databases. I am thinking Sql as it seems to be the most popular?

For cloud tech and deployment I know of AWS and Heroku.

There is also a lot of web security tech that I am not sure I understand works. I am assuming recaptcha works with javascript and some database. There are also security keys.

As you can see I am kind of lost as to where I should begin.
I'm really interested in getting general overviews as to all of the tech involved when building some of these complex websites I have listed above, and would appreciate any guidance.

Thank you.
