Course Introduction

Understand what this course will cover and the learning objectives achieved.

Interacting with Databases

Interact with relational databases. Review SQL and the Client-Server Model. Use Postgres, understand DBAPIs, and use psycopg2.

SQLAlchemy Basics

Learn to use SQLAlchemy and SQLAlchemy ORM to work with a relational database in Python.

SQLAlchemy ORM in Depth

Get to know Model.query and the SQLAlchemy Object Lifecycle to master how to query for and change records in a database.

Migrations

Handle changes to your database schema over time using a version control system involving migration files.

Build a CRUD App with SQLAlchemy - Part 1

Build out the ability to read and create todo items in our To-do app, handling changes from the database to the views.

Build a CRUD App with SQLAlchemy ORM - Part 2

Finish developing our To-Do app with update and delete functionality. Model relationships with To-Do lists.

Project: Fyyur

In this project, you'll demonstrate your new SQL and data modeling skills by creating a site to help coordinate bookings between artists and venues.

Introduction to APIs

In this lesson, you'll learn what APIs are, how they're implemented, and why they're important. We'll also dive into the concepts of Internet Protocols and REST.

HTTP and Flask Basics

In this lesson, you'll learn about HTTP—including methods, requests, responses and status codes— as well as how to set up a Flask app, and implement and test endpoints using Curl.

Endpoints and Payloads

In this lesson, you'll learn about how Flask is extensible in itself to handle different kinds of methods, more complex endpoints, and to return formatted data to the client.

API Testing

This lesson teaches students the benefits and purposes of testing an API, Test-Driven Development for APIs and implementing the tests using unittest.

API Documentation

To round out the course, students will consider and write API documentation and project documentation so their projects can be hosted, shared, and used by other developers with clarity.

Project: Trivia API

In this project, you'll use your new API and API documentation skills to build a trivia API.

Foundation

Set the groundwork for understanding information security and refresh your understanding of the technologies used in future lessons.

Identity and Authentication

Explore frequently used methods of identifying who is making requests on web systems. Implement modern software patterns to accomplish this goal across the stack.

Passwords

Understand and overcome common pitfalls of the ubiquitous password authentication design pattern.

Access and Authorization

Limit access to specific resources or actions by restricting requests only to authorized request to particular users and groups of users. Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) across the stack.

Thinking Adversarially

Stay one step ahead of attackers by implementing a secure development process and knowing how to keep informed on the cutting edge of security research.

Project: Coffee Shop Full Stack

In this project, you'll demonstrate your new authentication and authorization skills by creating a full-stack application for a coffee shop menu.

Introduction

Welcome to the Server Deployment, Containerization, and Testing course!

Containers

An introduction to containers and Docker. In this lesson, you will install Docker locally, define a container using a Dockerfile, download and launch a Docker container, and store and share it.

AWS and Kubernetes

Introduce AWS services, create resources with console and CLI, explain container orchestration and Kubernetes, create EKS Cluster with console and Eksctl, and manage Kubernetes with Kubectl.

Deployment using CI/CD

Deploy app to EKS, create AWS resources with Cloudformation YAML, and set up end-to-end CI/CD pipeline with AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild.

Deploy Your Flask App to Kubernetes Using EKS

In this project, learners will create a container for your Flask web app using Docker and deploy the container to a Kubernetes cluster using Amazon EKS.

Capstone Prep and Deployment Options

In this lesson you’ll be introduced to the Capstone project. You'll learn how to deploy your API to Heroku and the Render Cloud Platforms.
