Summary This course offers a detailed exploration of FastAPI, a cutting-edge Python framework for API development. The course starts with basic API and REST principles, quickly advancing to practical application for a thorough understanding of both theory and practice. The curriculum progresses logically, starting with the basics of FastAPI, including app setup, API routing, linting, and formatting. Participants will create a social media API, manage post and comments, and learn code organization with APIRouter, followed by practical testing experience using pytest. A significant portion of the course focuses on asynchronous databases, vital for scalable application development. It covers database setup, connection, and integration within FastAPI. The course also delves into Python logging techniques, crucial for debugging and monitoring FastAPI applications. It also covers user authentication, an essential element in modern web apps. It includes practical training on JWTs, password hashing, authentication management, and database user relationships, alongside addressing many-to-many database relationships and user email confirmation strategies. In later stages, the course addresses advanced topics like file uploads, background image generation tasks, and deployment methodologies, including continuous integration with GitHub Actions. What you will learn Build and structure a FastAPI application Implement and test RESTful APIs with FastAPI Manage asynchronous database operations Configure and utilize Python logging in FastAPI Secure applications with user authentication and JWTs Handle complex database relationships Deploy FastAPI applications and manage them effectively Audience This course is ideal for aspiring back-end developers, testers looking to integrate automation into their workflows, and front-end developers seeking a deeper understanding of server-side processes. This course will particularly benefit those with a basic grasp of programming and a desire to specialize in the fast-paced realm of web development, API construction, and database management using FastAPI. Prior programming experience in any language is recommended; beginners should consider a basic Python course first, as all required software is provided for free.
