COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This program provides learners with the essential knowledge and skills to create robust web applications from the ground up, emphasizing the integration of back-end and front-end components, database management, and server deployment.
The curriculum covers back-end development by teaching the design of RESTful APIs with Python and Flask, along with implementing authentication and authorization through Flask-Login and OAuth. In front-end development, students will learn to construct dynamic interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and utilize React for building single-page applications.
The database segment focuses on working with SQL and relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including executing database migrations with SQLAlchemy. For server deployment, learners will explore application deployment on platforms like AWS, Heroku, or Docker, while also gaining insights into CI/CD principles for efficient application updates. Additionally, the program emphasizes mastering Git workflows and collaborating on projects via GitHub.
CERTIFICATION:
Upon finishing the program, you will obtain a Nanodegree Certificate
