Python Web Development

Python web development involves using the Python programming language to build the server-side logic of websites and web applications. Leveraging Python's renowned simplicity, readability, and extensive ecosystem, developers utilize powerful frameworks like the full-featured Django or the minimalist Flask to streamline the creation process. This discipline focuses on handling tasks such as processing data from user requests, interacting with databases, managing user authentication, and routing web traffic, ultimately forming the functional backbone that powers dynamic web experiences.
