A 90-day deep dive into Python backend engineering with Django and Django REST Framework, plus PostgreSQL, Celery, testing, Docker and AWS deployment.
Akhil
Senior Software Developer

Overview
You will master Python and Django, build secure, optimised REST APIs with DRF, run background jobs with Celery, test everything and ship a production-grade backend.
Skills You'll Learn
Prerequisites
- Basic programming knowledge helps but is not required
- A laptop capable of running Python and Docker
Course Roadmap
Module 1
Modules 1–4: Python Core for Backend → Databases & SQL with PostgreSQL
Learn Python from the ground up. Write idiomatic, professional Python. Work the way real engineering teams do. Design and query real databases.
Module 2
Modules 5–8: Django Fundamentals → Django REST Framework Fundamentals
Build your first Django applications. Model and query data efficiently. Add users and back-office tools. Turn Django into a REST API.
Module 3
Modules 9–12: DRF Authentication, Permissions & Advanced → Docker, CI/CD & AWS Deployment
Secure and scale your APIs. Move slow work off the request cycle. Ship code you can trust. Take your backend live.
Module 4
Module 13: Capstone: Production REST API Backend
Build and deploy a production-grade backend.
