Best stack to learn today for web apps?

1 points by steve3242 1 year ago | 3 comments

I have an engineering degree (but not computer engineering) and 15+ years experience working senior roles in product management but not writing code.) I can hack code together and I've got a good understanding of the basics but I'm not currently able to do anything production-grade. I've decided I want to learn how to develop web apps; with a focus on apps that leverage LLMs. I use a Windows computer and would prefer to not migrate to Mac.

I'm looking for a list of specific technologies and tools I should learn on this journey of building a proper production grade SaaS app.

My current list: - Linux

- Bash

- GitHub

- Python

- SQL

- PostgreSQL

- Docker

- Many things AWS

- Django

- LangChain

I plan to learn by doing. I've got an app in mind and will learn each of the tools in the process of building it. Anything you would add/subtract or recommend?

I like Pyramid for a WebApp framework. It is very malleable and it has a large and vibrant user community.

Web app? Rails. You can build it all by yourself.

MySQL. A lot of sites use it.
