Program Overview
Knowing Python and being able to ship a web application are two different skills, and the second one is what this course builds. It starts where confusion usually begins: what actually happens when a browser asks a server for a page. Month 1 answers that with HTTP fundamentals and Flask, a framework small enough to see through: routes, templates, and forms with nothing hidden. Month 2 adds the database layer, SQL first and then the SQLAlchemy ORM, plus sessions and login, so by the halfway mark students have built a complete Flask application from scratch. Months 3 and 4 move to Django, the framework Indian and global companies run in production: models, migrations, the admin, authentication, relationships, and class-based views, ending in a database-backed project with real users. Month 5 covers what most jobs actually ask for, REST APIs with Django REST Framework: serializers, token authentication, permissions, and a documented API tested end to end. Month 6 is deployment and the capstone: environment configuration, Postgres, Gunicorn, static files, a live host, and a project of the student's own design shipped to a public URL and defended.
Classes are live and small, everything is built by typing, and code review is part of the course, not a bonus.
What Makes This Program Different
- Flask before Django, on purpose: a small framework first means Django's conveniences read as solutions, not magic
- SQL is taught before the ORM, so students understand what save() and filter() actually send to the database
- The middle of the course is a complete Flask app and a complete Django app, not fragments that never meet
- REST APIs get a full month with Django REST Framework, because that is what backend job descriptions actually list
- Deployment is a taught skill, not a footnote: every student ships the capstone to a real public URL
- Code review from a working instructor on every project, with the same standards a team lead would apply
