Complete Python Web Course: Build 8 Python Web Applications

Description

Do you know what is common between Netflix, Instagram, Spotify, Dropbox, and Uber? All these applications are made in Python. There is no doubt that Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the modern technological world. This course will teach you Python and web development skills that will help you to build real-time applications. The course begins with an introduction to Python fundamentals, and teaches you how to install Python 3.4.3 on your machine. Moving ahead, you will understand how the internet works, find out how Python retrieves data, and get an overview of the MongoDB database.
