Backend Developer with Python

via Udacity Nanodegree

Overview

Build real-world web applications from scratch. This Nanodegree teaches full stack development using Flask, SQL, and Docker with a focus on APIs, security, and deployment skills.

Syllabus

Welcome to the Program!

Welcome! We're so glad you're here. Join us in learning a bit more about what to expect and ways to succeed.

SQL and Data Modeling for the Web with Python

You'll learn the skills needed to traverse the stack and develop an entire database-backed web application. By the end of the course, you'll have the fundamentals you need to start building web applications, including how to do Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on a database, how to apply these operations across both databases and web applications, how to set up relationships between elements of an application, and ultimately how to think about important principles and patterns in building data models for a web application

API Development and Documentation

Learn how to use APIs to control and manage web applications, including best practices for API testing and documentation.

Identity Access Management

In this part, you will build the backend for a coffee shop application. You’ll add user accounts and authentication to your application and use role-based access management strategies to control different types of user behavior in the app.

Server Deployment and Containerization

Develop an understanding of containerized environments, use Docker to share and store containers, and deploy a Docker
container to AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service using the CI/CD pipeline.

Full Stack Capstone

You will now combine all of the new skills you’ve learned and developed in this course to construct a database-backed web API with user access control. You will choose what app to build and then you’ll design and build out all of the API endpoints needed for the application and properly secure them for use in any front end application (web or mobile).
