Python is used in web development to build dynamic and scalable applications. It provides frameworks and tools for backend development, API creation and deployment. Its simple syntax and flexibility make it suitable for developing modern web applications.

Python Basics

Since frameworks like FastAPI and Django are built on Python, a solid understanding of the language is required to write logic and manage data within your applications:

• Introduction, Input and Output, Variables & Operators
• Keywords, Data Types, Conditional Statements & Loops
• Strings, List, Tuples, Dictionary, Sets & Arrays
• Functions, classes, OOP & modules
• Error handling, Built-in Exception & File Handling

Web Development Basics

This section covers the essential "handshake" between client and server, explaining how backend frameworks process HTTP requests to deliver data and responses.

• Web Development Technologies
• Web servers
• HTTP protocol
• Web Development Terminologies
• HTML, CSS & JavaScript

Core Frameworks for Web Development

Python offers different frameworks for building web applications, each suited to specific use cases. Understanding the core frameworks helps in selecting the right approach for developing scalable and maintainable applications.

Django (For Large Applications)

• Basics
• Models
• Views
• URL Routing
• Templates
• Forms Handling
• Middleware
• ORM
• Admin
• Building RESTful APIs

Flask (For Small to Medium Applications)

• Basics
• Creating Application
• App Routing
• Declaring Models
• HTTP Method
• Templates
• WTF
• App Configuration
• Middlewares
• Building REST APIs

FastAPI (For High-Performance APIs)

• Introduction
• Template and Static Files
• Pydantic
• Request Body
• Response Model
• Middlewares
• Dependency Injection
• Creating REST API

Databases

Databases are used to store and manage application data in web development. In Python, applications commonly use SQL and NoSQL databases, and each framework provides ways to connect and perform data operations.

SQL Databases

• PostgreSQL Database in Django
• MYSQL Database in Django
• MySql database with Flask
• PostgreSQL database with Flask
• SQLite Databases with FastAPI

NoSQL Databases

• MongoDB database with Django
• MongoDB database with Flask
• MongoDB database with FastAPI

Advanced Topics

These concepts focus on improving API usability, security and reliability in web applications. These topics help in building secure and well-documented production-ready systems.

API Design, Documentation & Testing

• Application Programming Interface
• Swagger UI
• OpenAPI
• POSTMAN
• Handling Errors & Status Codes

Authentication & Security

• JSON Web Token (JWT)
• Using JWT in Flask
• OAuth Authentication with Flask
• Password Hashing with Bcrypt in Flask
• Role Based Access Control
• CSRF Protection

Deployment

After development, application needs to be hosted on a server so it can be accessed by users. This involves configuring the environment, choosing a hosting platform and ensuring the app runs reliably in production.

• Deploy Django App on AWS EC2, AWS Lambda
• Deploy Django In Azure
• Deploy Flask App On AWS EC2
• Deploy FastAPI App On AWS EC2
• Deploy FastAPI App Using Render

Containerization

Applications are packaged along with their dependencies into containers to ensure consistent behavior across different environments. Tools like Docker are used for creating containers, while Kubernetes helps in managing and scaling them in production.

• Deploy Django Containers with Kubernetes
• Dockerize Flask App
• Deploy Flask App on Kubernetes
• Containerize FastAPI in Docker

Projects

Building projects helps in applying concepts like frameworks, databases, APIs and deployment in a practical way. It also improves problem-solving and understanding of real-world application flow.

• E-Commerce Website Using Django
• ToDo webapp using Django
• Weather app using Django
• Wikipedia search app using Flask
• Twitter Sentiment Analysis WebApp using Flask
• Create Cricket Score API using Web Scraping using Flask
• Login & Registration System with JWT using FastAPI
• Chat App with WebSockets using FastAPI
