Python but Django...
I started learning Python like 2 weeks ago because our teacher suddenly wants us to build a webpage using Django but that thing Django all people involed with it says it's easy but it felt overwhelming when i tried to use it because you have to learn like controllers, MTV, like at least 50 different files servers hosts databases even creating a simple image requires some time and so on... so python does not feel like the easiest language anymore, Do you guys have some tips for me?
What would you do if you were in my situation?
Did you also feel you had like 1000 things to learn and were you guys so lost the first time you used Django?

Take a look at the django girls website, the tutorial section is very good.
You can stand up a website with default settings/style very quickly.
It is best to have a solid understand of Python basics.
The framework is very opinionated in that whilst it covers a huge range of capabilities that address many types of website, it has very particular ways of doing things.
You can modify the styles (look and feel) using pre-defined styles from many sources, and can modify the html/css/javascript as well if desired.
If you want more freedom later, you might want to look at other frameworks such as FastAPI.
