Learning track content
Module 1 / Ultimate HTML
Explore the inner workings of the web. Learn how data travels across networks, discover the role of protocols, and unravel the mysteries of IP addresses and domain names. Gain a high-level understanding of how web browsers and servers communicate to deliver web content.
The core of HTML document structure. Learn the components of an HTML document, including the doctype declaration, head, and body. Understand the purpose of each element and how they contribute to the overall structure of a webpage.
Make a web page more appealing with the help of media such as images, audio, and video. Work with structured tabular data in the form of tables.
Explore the versatility of HTML forms. Learn to design intuitive and user-friendly forms by leveraging key concepts and techniques. Discover how forms enable user interaction and data submission on websites.
Create visually stunning and interactive web designs by using advanced CSS techniques for adding decorative elements.
Module 3 / Flask Intensive Course: Web Development with Python
Get ready to launch our very first project! We're diving into the exciting world of important project concepts and components. Here, we'll make the magic happen by connecting with Flask, crafting our initial functional endpoints, and bringing our project to life with captivating templates and eye-catching static files.
Here, you can enhance your application by adding a database. You'll get hands-on experience working with SQLAlchemy as you create an SQLite database tailored for development mode.
Get ready to dive into the world of ORM queries for databases and discover how to seamlessly integrate them into your project, allowing you to perform the full range of CRUD operations.
Welcome to the world of web design! In this journey, you'll learn how to integrate Bootstrap styles into your project, instantly transforming it into an eye-catching masterpiece. Think of it as playing with digital Legos for programmers.
Module 4 / Professional Web API with Flask
Dive into the world of web APIs with Flask, starting with the basics. You'll learn what APIs and REST APIs are, how to set up your project, configure your environment, and establish a GitHub SSH connection. This foundational knowledge will set you up for success.
Explore the core of database handling with SQLAlchemy. You'll learn to create robust models and understand many-to-one, one-to-one, and many-to-many relationships. This section empowers you with the skills to structure complex databases for real-world applications.
Unveil the power of Flask-Smorest and Marshmallow for managing web APIs and data serialization. You'll delve into JSON, schema handling, and the intricacies of data representation and validation, paving the way for advanced API development.
Master the art of creating and managing endpoints with Flask's Blueprints and MethodView. From setting up your first endpoints to exploring Flask-Migration and SQLite Studio, and utilizing tools like Postman and Insomnia, you'll craft scalable and maintainable web architectures.
Secure your web APIs with JWT authentication. Learn to set up Flask-JWT-Extended, handle user registration, login, and logout processes, and implement permissions and security measures. By the end of this section, you'll be adept at protecting and testing your endpoints.
Prepare your Flask project for deployment. This final leap covers the essentials: creating a requirements.txt, code formatting with Black and Flake8, and documenting your project with a README.md. You'll also master Git for version control and branch merging, readying you for a seamless project launch.
Module 5 / Docker for Python Developers
In this section, we'll explore the fundamental concepts of Docker - a powerful tool for managing containers. Understanding these concepts will help you gain a deeper insight into how Docker works and how to effectively utilize it in your software development and deployment processes.
This section will guide you step by step through the process of creating your first Dockerfiles - text files that contain instructions for automating the building of Docker images. You will learn how to create a Dockerfile for your application, including defining the base image, adding necessary components, configuring the environment, and installing dependencies.
The section titled "Docker for Flask Developers" offers an in-depth exploration of utilizing Docker for developing web applications based on the Flask framework for Python. In this section, you'll learn how to effectively use Docker to create, deploy, and manage Flask applications in an isolated and scalable container environment.
This section delves into Docker Compose, a tool designed to simplify the management of multi-container Docker applications. By utilizing Docker Compose, users can define and run multi-container Docker applications with ease, streamlining the process of container orchestration.
