This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this specialization, learners will start by mastering Flask basics, such as routing, handling request methods, and debugging. You will then dive deeper into dynamic web applications with templates and Flask’s powerful database management system, SQLAlchemy. As you progress, you'll explore building secure user authentication systems, handling forms, and interacting with APIs.
Throughout the course, you’ll work on several hands-on projects, including a registration app, a dashboard, and an API service. These projects will help you practice concepts like Flask routing, SQLAlchemy database interactions, secure authentication, and deployment to cloud platforms such as Heroku and Amazon Lightsail.
This specialization is ideal for learners with basic Python knowledge looking to enhance their web development skills. It’s suitable for intermediate learners, although beginners can follow along with dedication.
By the end of the specialization, you will be able to create web applications, handle databases, implement user authentication, build APIs, and deploy your applications to the cloud.
