I have been learning python
and have been learning through reading books
and following online tutorials and know most of the basics by now,
but i am not sure how to proceed from here.

I want to build stuff like keyword rank tracker,
article spinner, page rank checker, etc.
but I dont even know what I need to know
to start building these scripts.

So, could any of you guys guide me
how to proceed to build one of these?

  • For the keyword rank, you WILL need something like a database(SQL), and get the keywords off the CGI query string. (HTTP/HTML) The same is pretty much true for the others. The EXACT method is up to you.

  • Okay, so you mean I have to learn about
    SQL databases and CGI before I can do things like that?

    • SQL to store all te items you pull off the queries, and CGI to pull them off.

  • hello, I have started learning python as well, but I am just a begginer, working on powershell commands, I want advice as well. I have started python just to get a good knowledge of desktop programming and my aim is to be a good web programmer. Any suggession would be appreciated.

    Regards
  • If you intend to work on web applications I'd suggest you pick up a python web framework preferably django and do some little practice on it, django is particularly good because it will alleviate the need for learning a lot of database stuff, since it abstracts all this.
