Description
Welcome to the exciting world of web development, where we’ll guide you through the journey of building a dynamic and interactive online video game store from scratch. This comprehensive course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to create modern web applications using popular Python frameworks – Django and Flask.
What You’ll Learn:
This course starts with the fundamentals, ensuring you have a strong foundation in Python programming and web concepts. From there, we dive deep into setting up your development environment, managing dependencies, and creating virtual environments to keep your projects organized.
You’ll master Flask, a lightweight and flexible web framework, and harness its power to create RESTful services, enabling seamless communication between your web application and the server. Our instructors will guide you through user authentication, allowing you to implement essential features like user registration, login, and logout securely.
Discover the art of designing and managing databases as we delve into the back-end and front-end aspects of game data. You’ll learn to display, edit, and organize game information efficiently.
But that’s not all – our course covers the implementation of shopping cart functionality, enabling users to browse games, add them to their cart, and seamlessly complete purchases.
Throughout the course, we will emphasize on best practices in web development, including code organization, security measures, and user-friendly design principles. Real-world project experience is at the core of this course, ensuring you graduate with the ability to build web applications that can be deployed and enjoyed by users worldwide.
Project 1, titled “Implementing the Flask Application,” will guide you in building a command-line application that handles user posts, user registration, and login functionality. This section will introduce you to fundamental Python programming concepts. You’ll acquire skills in parsing command-line arguments to enhance program interactivity, and you’ll also discover how to manage user databases using SQLAlchemy.
