You will learn how to create backend web apps using Python Flask and Cloud9, MySQL, Docker Containers, and other technologies
How do I know this? Since I have been leading tech teams at both large enterprises and startups in New York City for 15 years.
I've seen many tutorials and courses, and 90% of them only teach bad habits and promise to make you a web developer. But let me tell ya, there is no such thing as web developer anymore. There are three types of web developers: a back-end web application developer, a front-end web developer and a full stack web developer. The latter is rare. There are many technologies that you can master in the frontend and backend areas. Full-stacks, or web developers, are rare in professional environments. You are either a front-end web developer or a back end web developer.
Although this course won't guarantee that you will become a professional backend developer, it will provide you with a solid foundation and help you continue your training. I plan to create a second course that introduces more advanced back-end concepts, and then begin the advanced front end courses (basic or advanced).
This course walks you through the steps of creating web applications. It teaches you Python basics, how to use Flask, and Cloud9 as your development environment. The course then moves on to show you how to create a blog application by using these skills.
