Full stack Python Web Development

Introduction

The Full Stack Python Web Development course is designed to equip learners with the skills needed to build dynamic, data-driven web applications using Python as the backend language. This course covers both frontend and backend development, enabling students to become proficient in full-stack development. With practical projects and hands-on exercises, learners will gain the skills to work with web frameworks, databases, authentication, APIs, and deployment techniques to create end-to-end web applications.

Course Objectives

Master frontend development with HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
Learn backend development using Python with frameworks like Flask and Django.
Work with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and integrate them into web applications.
Implement user authentication and authorization systems.
Develop full-stack applications with best practices in coding and design.
