Data-driven applications are at the core of modern software systems, making database and back-end development skills essential for application developers. This course introduces learners to working with relational databases using SQL and building full stack web applications using the Django framework.
You will begin by learning how to model data and perform essential database operations such as inserting, querying, updating, and deleting records using SQL. The course then introduces object-relational mapping (ORM) concepts and demonstrates how Django models simplify working with databases through object-oriented programming. You will explore Djangos model-view-template architecture and learn how models, views, and templates work together to power dynamic web applications.
Through hands-on labs, you will build Django applications, manage data using Djangos admin interface, and enhance user interfaces using Bootstrap. The course concludes with a final project in which you develop and deploy a full stack Django web application on the cloud, helping you apply your skills in a real-world development scenario.
This course comprises 5 purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.
It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules.It is anticipated that if you work 4 hours per week, you will complete the course in 4 weeks. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community through the course discussion space.
The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.
