Regarding building a website

[jk91]

Hi,

1) If I work 2 hours per day towards completion of this task then experts could you please guide then How much time should i take to complete it?


) I would like to ask whether we would be able to develop thisCOS, such V-Bulletin or something else using Python?


Thanks

You should break down the task into smaller subtasks and estimate those, based on how complex you think the work is. That's how it's done in the real world.

Ok..

what about the answer of 2nd question here - "whether we would be able to develop this COS, such V-Bulletin or something else using Python ?"



Thanks..

I don't know what COS is, but if you're asking (again, sigh) whether you can build a web forum in Python, then yes of course - it's just a web application. Of course you can also use an existing one, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

[jk91]

ok, here COS means commercial of the shelf [application].

[jk91]

Ok experts now i have told meaning of COS as well COS means commercial of the shelf [application].

So Please advise now how to proceed further to accomplish it as soon as possible?


Thanks

You start bye learning the basic in all areas(not only web-development) as you show in this Thread that you struggle with.

About 50-years
It's not only a joke,a forum software VBulletin or any other forum software requires a lot of work and in most cases more that one person working on this for years.
And this not a beginner task at all.

You can look at FlaskBB pretty most the only Python forum software that has been steadily worked on for a while(7-years).

so should i give up an idea of it's development in next 2-3 months with 2/3 hours per day dedication?

A advice is to have more realistic goal,a first step should use that time learning the basic of Python and web-development.
Make smaller project like small basic web-sites/app,most also learn the basic of HTML/CSS and some JavaScript if want to do web-development.

Then if not feed up as the web-development world is messy place
Can try to make larger stuff,but forum software is on then very end of the difficulty scale,some have started but give up after a while.
That's why we have very few forum software projects in Python,that become usable.

When we started this forum there where to candidates after a while,i did run NodeBB as alternative to look at and @metulburr MyBB(which we run on today by a vote decisions).
Just to give an idea of the scale of eg MYBB we run of now.
Using git-sizer to looks at it.
There are over 1000 files in 166 directories.
1 file can have hundred to thousand lines of code.

i agree it's a long term assignment and tough as well.

but if we break in to smaller pieces then start focusing on these smaller pieces one by one and once we complete all these smaller pieces and then finally integrate them all then i think it could also be achieved right?

so for this first of all what should i focus on ?
