Backend Development

The goal of this module is to learn the fundamentals of computer programming using Python.

This module will teach you the fundamental data structures of the Python programming language.Your learnings will go beyond the fundamentals and look at how we can use Python’s built-in data structures to perform increasingly complex data analysis.

In Python we will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats to scrape, parse and read web data as well as use web APIs to access data.

In this module we will study the fundamentals of Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data collection, analysis, and processing effort.

In the first project, students will create a set of Python applications to retrieve, process, and visualise data. The projects will incorporate all aspects of the above modules.

This module will teach you how Django communicates with a database using model objects.

Guided Project 1: Create a asic contacts list web app using Django

Guided Project 2: Use Python Django to Build a Webiste

By the end of this 2 hours project module you will be able to use Django to build a web application.

In this final project, you will look at the JavaScript programming language and how it supports the Object-Oriented pattern, with an emphasis on the unique aspects of JavaScript’s approach to OO.

Guided Project 3: Build web apps with Django models, views, forms & templates

This project-based module will teach you how to create Django views that render HTML templates, as well as the fundamentals of programming Django templates. In one app, you will create a model, which you will then use in another. You will create a ModelForm object to aid in the rendering of your form.
