How I started Web Development

During my second year at University, we had a project wherein we created an AI chatbot. It then came to my mind that this should be a website since it will be used by people. I don’t have any experience in building websites that time. I only know basic html and no CSS or Javascript. But! I was very obsessed with Python that time, since it was the only language that was taught to us.

In the beginning, I created an Deep Learning chatbot which is on console or terminal only. When I finally made the thing work, I researched if it is possible to create websites using python. I then learned about Django Framework which is a very popular framework but on backend. My groupmate has a template for a website so we used it and tweaked it a bit.

I was very slow in creating the project since I am not also very good in Python. However, I am enjoying it since I am learning, not only Django, but also Javascript.

I was enjoying much that after the project is functional, I also added a voice functionality for the chatbot. If I’m not mistaken, almost half of the time creating the project was on the voice functionality. I never thought of surrendering that time since I am very eager to learn.

We successfully made the project in time and received a high grade for it. You can check our project in github using this link.
