It’s time to sharpen my writing, return to coding, and document the journey—one lesson at a time. This blog was made as an extension to my portfolio where I can demonstrate my learning. No download links will be used.

I sat down to teach myself to code again, after 12 months of endeavour, this is what I can tell you...

I spent 30 days learning Python and ultimately built a full-fledged web application using Flask, MongoDB, APIs, and HTML. What started as a simple challenge completely changed how I understand web development and the technology behind modern websites.

MongoDB can be thought of as a JSON-like way to store application data. While the underlying concepts differ from SQL databases, the way data is structured and queried maps naturally to Python dictionaries.
