A Photo/Video/Sharing App in Python

[CaiGengYang]

So, I want finally decided to design a photo/image/video sharing app that i can test on users and use it to apply for YCombinator next year after I have gotten a significant number of users to test and love it.

Is Python a good language to program this in? How / where do i start ? Any suggestions / resources / recommendations appreciated ! Thanks a lot!

If python is your strong suit then it is definitely a good language to program this in. Instagram was built on python.

Don't forget many great apps are built on many different languages. I think you should focus on using what you know to get your product out there as quickly as possible.

Good luck and I hope this helps :)

Just started learning how to program and only gone through the Python course on CodeAcademy.

Is there a good video tutorial online that shows step-by-step how to create a basic webpage in Python ?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes indeed. You can try out the django book, for step by step guides on getting things done in Django. https://github.com/jacobian-archive/djangobook.com

I only propose Django because that's what I use for creating websites with Python.
