I can't give you a recommendation on a holistic class, but I can give you some recommendations on individual pieces/parts. First, I think that Django is a great framework for learning Python web programming. It has great documentation and support. Â
https://docs.djangoproject.com/e...Â
http://www.djangobook.com/Â
Working through the tutorial will give you a good understanding of what Django can do. Also, reading through the Django book will give you a good understanding of the additional features of Django.Â
My personal opinion is to start with a project in mind and start coding. PyCharm is a good editor and it is only $29 for students. It even gives you some good tools for CSS and HTML. Otherwise, PyDev is a pretty good Eclipse based editor. Â
The next steps are dependent on how interactive you want to make your web applications. If you don't care about doing a lot of fancy AJAX stuff, then you can probably do a lot of what you want with CSS, HTML and Django. I worked through my first few applications without needing any JavaScript. You can build some great applications with Django without ever needing to touch JavaScript. Â
If you do want more dynamic applications, I would suggest working through some jQuery tutorials ((http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page). Combining Django and jQuery is really simple. For the most part, the Django portions of my application really don't affect the jQuery portions. Â
From my own experience, this worked out fairly well. I learned web development on my own outside of any class room setting. I started out working through the Django tutorials and books and did fine. Â
I am sorry if I didn't give you a good, one-stop-shop for learning Python web development. In my experience, frontend development and backend development are orthogonal efforts. I generally do a few mockups using standalone HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Once, I get the look and feel right, I convert that HTML over to a Django template.
