Python Backend Web Development with Flask and SQL

Every modern web and mobile application relies on a robust backend to manage data, handle security, and power user experiences. If you want to transition from writing basic Python scripts to building production-ready web APIs, mastering backend architecture is your next step. In this text-based course, you will learn how to design, develop, and deploy secure backend systems from scratch. You will transition from understanding core database concepts to structuring professional APIs and containerizing your applications for the cloud. Through clear written explanations and practical code examples, you will gain a deep understanding of how backend systems communicate and scale. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational backend concepts, database design with SQL, and object-relational mapping (ORM). - Build RESTful APIs using Flask and structure your code with modern Python type hints and virtual environments. - Implement secure authentication and authorization flows to protect user data. - Write automated tests with pytest to ensure your backend services are reliable and bug-free. - Configure and containerize applications using Docker for consistent deployment across environments. The course starts with essential backend terminology and database fundamentals before guiding you through API development, security implementation, and deployment strategies. You will read clear explanations, analyze structured code snippets, and complete written exercises to reinforce your learning. This course is designed for beginners who have a basic understanding of Python and want to learn backend engineering. No prior database, API, or DevOps experience is required.
