Python Django & FastAPI

Build robust web applications with Python. Master Django for 'batteries-included' full-stack apps and FastAPI for high-performance async APIs.

Python dominates the backend landscape. This course covers two essential frameworks: Django, for rapid full-stack development with its built-in Admin panel and ORM, and FastAPI, for modern, high-performance, asynchronous microservices. You will learn to define data models, handle migrations, validate data with Pydantic, and implement secure authentication. Whether you need a CMS-style monolith or a machine-learning ready API, this course equips you with the right Python tools.
