Introduction to FastAPI and Backend Development Fundamentals

О курсе

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will gain a solid foundation in backend development with FastAPI, a powerful Python framework. You will start by understanding the fundamentals of REST APIs, dive into FastAPI's core features, and discover why it is the framework of choice for modern backend development. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to build efficient, scalable APIs and backend systems using Python and FastAPI. The journey starts with a deep dive into REST APIs and FastAPI, followed by practical modules on setting up and using FastAPI in a real development environment. You’ll learn how to create API endpoints, handle parameters, and manage error responses effectively. The course then progresses into database management with SQL and SQLModel, covering everything from basic CRUD operations to advanced concepts like async programming with PostgreSQL. This course is designed for aspiring backend developers, those looking to advance their skills with FastAPI, or anyone wanting to get hands-on experience with Python backend frameworks. There are no strict prerequisites, but some familiarity with Python programming and web development concepts would be beneficial. By the end of the course, you will be able to build and manage dynamic REST APIs using FastAPI, implement various HTTP methods, integrate databases with FastAPI, and apply advanced techniques like asynchronous programming with PostgreSQL.
