I'm also somewhat of a newbie but seem to be a little further down
the road than you are. So hear is some advise from someone with
recent bruises. <br>
<br>
The advise to learn python first is a very good piece of advice. I
tried Postgresql and Django first and got bogged down just about the
time that I was starting to get past the setup phase. You might try
"Learning Python The Hard Way". It's working for me.<br>
<br>
Django v.s. other frameworks. It depends on what you want to do. I'm
working on a data archiving project so the fact that Dango was / is
developed by a couple of newspaper journalists fits well with my
project. This may not be true for you. I will say that once you set
the system up you will probably never see the sql database again. A
very good thing.<br>
<br>
What ever you do set up virtualenv and vertualenvwrapper. Not only
will this keep you project code away from the rest of your system,
it will allow you to run different versions of software
simultaneously.<br>
(Note: Unless you are using SQLite your database engine will be
installed globally. Everything else inside the wrapper using pip.)<br>
<br>
There are a lot of scripting languages out there and everyone has a
favorite. No matter what Python strikes me as being a good choice.
You will need some kind of an Integrated Development Environment
(IDE). I happen to like Ninja-Ide. (Don't everyone start throwing
rocks. We all have our favorites. An no, I haven't checked them all
out.)<br>
<br>
This is my first programming in some years too. I use to be a whiz
at fortran, C and Xbase but haven't done anything since I retired. <br>
<br>
Good luck<br>
<br>
Gary R<br>
