Overview
Python is the language of the present and the future, so it is very important to unchain the true power of the language when it is applied to different areas and create applications that get things done.
This module will teach how to create web applications in Django and how to integrate other aspects such as connecting other applications via API communications, web scraping, monitoring and notifying events, commands to automate tasks, data analysis, and much more.
The module is oriented in a practical way, using an application that will be built on the module from scratch and adding each feature step by step.
Learning highlights
- Web development
- Python Backend development
- Analysis of data in Python
- Web scraping in Python
- Plot of data analysis
- Django development in a professional way
