Python Web Application Developer Bootcamp

Project 1 is called Implementing the Flask Application. It guides you through developing a terminal application that user posts and allow users to register and login. This Section will introduce you to the basic concepts of Python programming. You will learn how to parse command-line arguments to add more interactivity to programs, and you will finally see how to manage user database using the SQLAlchemy.

Project 2, Building a Web Messenger with Microservices, will teach you how to use Nameko, a microservice framework for Python. You will also learn how to make dependency providers for external resources such as Redis. This project will also touch upon integration testing Nameko services and basic AJAX requests to an API.

Project 3, Online Video Game Store with Django, will enable you to create an online video game store. It will contain features such as browsing video games by category, performing searches using different criteria, viewing detailed information about each game, and finally adding games to a shopping cart and placing an order. Here, you will learn about Django 2.0, the administration UI, the Django data model, and much more.

The Python Networking course is a great reference for computer science students, system administrators and experienced Python developers who are looking to expand their knowledge with Python Network Programming libraries. Even though the course is perfect for advanced programmers, prior experience with Python is not recommended. There are two section covering all Python basics.

Python network programming provides a broad exploration of the basic principles of the network. Python supports network programming and provides plenty of key libraries. You will also learn how to use powerful GUI applications to monitor your traffic such as Wireshark. It as a diagnostic tool for protocol research and network programming. We will also see how we can interact with Python's Wireshark with the pyshark module.

Socket Programming introduces the basics of sockets and the principles of UDP and TCP through examples involving the socket module with the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. We will also cover asynchronous and non-blocking programming and HTTPS and TLS for the secure transport of data.

HTTP network programming covers the HTTP protocol and core Python modules such as the standard urllib library and the REST API connection request package. It also covers HTTP authentication mechanisms and how we can manage them through the request module. The Application Programming Interface in Action covers how to use Python to extract data from the major data formats on the web: HTML, XML, and JSON.

As Guido van Rossum said, “Code is read much more often than it is written.” You may spend a few minutes, or a whole day, writing a piece of code to process user authentication. Once you’ve written it, you’re never going to write it again. But you’ll definitely have to read it again. That piece of code might remain part of a project you’re working on. Every time you go back to that file, you’ll have to remember what that code does and why you wrote it, so readability matters.

If you’re new to Python, it can be difficult to remember what a piece of code does a few days, or weeks, after you wrote it. If you follow PEP 8, you can be sure that you’ve named your variables well. You’ll know that you’ve added enough whitespace so it’s easier to follow logical steps in your code. You’ll also have commented your code well. All this will mean your code is more readable and easier to come back to. As a beginner, following the rules of PEP 8 can make learning Python a much more pleasant task.

Following PEP 8 is particularly important if you’re looking for a development job. Writing clear, readable code shows professionalism. It’ll tell an employer that you understand how to structure your code well.

If you have more experience writing Python code, then you may need to collaborate with others. Writing readable code here is crucial. Other people, who may have never met you or seen your coding style before, will have to read and understand your code. Having guidelines that you follow and recognize will make it easier for others to read your code.
