About the course
A complete backend track built around Python and Django. You'll go from core language fundamentals and OOP to building production REST APIs with Django REST Framework, working with PostgreSQL and the Django ORM, containerizing with Docker, and shipping async microservices with FastAPI, Celery and Kafka.
