Python Web Apps

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In the first session of this six-week series on developing Python Web Apps, we will introduce you to the world of backend web development. We'll cover the basics of HTTP and then demonstrate how to make a Flask web application with routes, parameters, and templating. We'll also show how to turn that Flask application into an asynchronous application with Quart, for better concurrency.

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In the second session of this six-part series on developing Python Web Apps, we will continue our journey into the world of backend web development. This time, we'll focus on adding relational databases to a Python web app, using PostgreSQL and the popular SQLAlchemy ORM. We'll also show how to do migrations and use VS Code to explore the databases locally.

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In our third session of this six-part series on Python Web Development, we'll dive into the Django framework, a highly opinionated and very popular framework for Python web apps. We'll discover how the Django ORM and built-in admin makes it easy to build database-driven websites.

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In our fourth session of this 6-part series on Python web development, we'll learn all about making HTTP APIs using FastAPI, the hottest new framework for Python web apps. We'll explore what makes FastAPI apps so "fast" and see the amazing auto-generated documentation.

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In our fifth session of our 6-part series on Python web app development, we'll introduce Docker, a standard way to make your web application environments replicable and portable. We'll discover how to containerize Flask, Django, and FastAPI apps, and discuss how to deploy containerized apps to clouds like Azure.

10:30 午後 - 12:00 午前 (UTC)

In our final session of this six-part series on Python web development, we'll talk about the importance of testing your web apps and the many forms of testing: unit tests, integration tests, property-based tests. We'll use the popular pytest framework to write tests, and use Playwright for browser based testing. We'll also show how to set up a CI on GitHub actions to automate tests and test coverage checks.
