Hi People,
I am afraid only Alan has said something to me. Is it that solution would never 
come or u guys are waiting to gimme the best?

I agree with what Alan wrote. Your project sounds like real challenge even for experienced developers. Even for a team of experienced developers.

You need both deep knowlegde of certain areas and broad knowledge of programming, databases and networking/communication. Of course you don't get the knowlegde if you don't start to develope a system. But if you start with too much and too complex things the risk is that you get stuck. There's a saying: "You've got so much in your mouth that you can't chew anymore." (And you realise it only when it has happened ;-))

To avoid that risk of suddenly being buried in complexitiy and not knowing what to do and where to move next, I'd recommend to follow a step by step learning path:

With your project in mind, plan 3-5 smaller projects. Each project has one of the key technologies for your final project as focus. For example:

1) Create a Django site where users can register and unregister. 2 or 3 simple web forms. Nothing more. You'll learn all the database stuff and Django basics.
2) Build a system that handles SMS communication.
3) Build some a nice html+JS websites.
...
...

Then you can tackle the last and most challenging task, which is to design your overall system: Infrastructure, layers and your business-logic modules/classes.

Go in small steps! That will also keep your motivation up as you get feedback after each step.

HTH,

Jan

I have done some extensive reading on python.
i want to design a classifieds site for jobs.

Have you done any extensive programming yet?
Reading alone will be of limited benefit and jumping into
a faurly complex web project before you have the basics
mastered will be a painful experience.

I'm assuming you have at least some experience of
web programming in other languages for you to take
such a bold step?


I am taking this as my first project and would appreciate any help.
I am looking in the direction of python, maybe django.

The choice of tools is fine, but its a big task for a first
ever Python project!

HTH,
