I want to create my own website that would allow me to acess a database in the server and do inserts and lookups in a user friendly way. I am a seasoned user of linux and C/C++, and also have experience with Python and sqlite3, but i don't have any experience in Web development, so i have no idea where to start.

I have researched online and the best i came up with was an Apache/Nginx server together with an fcig or wscgi and Django, so that i would have database and python integration through a Django App.

Can someone tell me if this is the way to go or if there is some easier (or better) way to accomplish what i want?

  • If you're not doing anything asynchronous (e.g. with Twisted, Tornado or GEvent), then the stack is usually either Django or Flask, with either Apache+mod_wsgi or nginx+uwsgi.

Since you know Python already I see no reason not to go for Django. It should be fairly easy to set up and try out a quick project to see if you like it. Like with everything there's a learning curve, but from what I've seen the tutorials and documentation to get you up and running is rather good.

PHP would be easier. Its also C-like. But it takes less of a learning curve to move into webdevelopment with because its basically designed primarily for webdevelopment. Plus they have good documentation at PHP.NET

See Is there anyone who has used Python/Ruby and PHP for a long time and still prefer PHP?

    Really, this is advice you give to someone with Python experience? How much experience do you have with Python web development yourself?

    The answer you cited is three years old, and its only specific point against Python is not currently true. In fact, it probably never was.
