FastAPI - The Complete Course 2026 (Beginner + Advanced) (Udemy.com)

New to python but as a seasoned Java dev. I took basic python learning and jump straight to this course. 1. Very methodical and step by step increasing the depth 2. Core concepts are well defined 3. Course material and lecutres are so engaging and coding live as we go is the best part!! 4. Finally, communication, presentation, content cannot be sweeter!! I learned FastAPI as a novice at the start of this course but now I am confident of using it elsewhere..

Hi there, only 3.5 stars because even though Cody did a good job in updating the course along the way, the course is not from 2026 but 2021 instead! Updated in 2022, 2023 as we can see in the docs in further sections. And Cody reviewed and adjusted a bunch of videos but not all of them, first flaw. And secondly, there's another major issue to me, like so many students, I was looking forward to the "full-stack application" to get the juicy part! And I know the course is already 21 hours long so Cody might have thought it would be too much of a duration but this app is quite disappointing, no Bootstrap explanation, no HTML explanation, even worse, no JS explanation (for a full-stack app, it's mandatory to me!), the reason from Cody: "it's a course about FastAPI, not JS nor CSS" I concur and again, he might have thought 30 hours would be too long a course, but if that's so, why 1 hour+ on GIT? it's not a course about GIT either. And as far as I am concerned, JS is closer to a full-stack application thant GIT. So in a word, a good course but from 2021 watch out! and you'll get no explanation whatsoever in CSS, JS, a tad on Jinja but not much either. Too bad 'cause the rest of the course is pretty good, I must say, Cody's a great instructor, no question, but the full-stack app is a real disappointment, too few explanations while coding along, hence 3.5 stars only.

it's just waoooo content ...firstly i thought ...it wouldn't be that much good ..since i m using the platform for the first time ...but gradually ..i learnt everything and whats special is that ..it doesn't make uh feel overload

This course is exactly what I wanted to learn about FastAPI. One feedback is that I think it would be better if instructor could have explained how authentication and authorization workflow was set up in the code. I felt that authentication and authorization coding was a little rushed out. Also, Dependency injection is something which might be new to people like me. So a couple of slides on how dependency injection works in the background as well as a little more time on async/await understanding would have been good. But, overall the course was very good.

Overall, a good course for people who have prior development experience. I can see how a lot of very new devs can get lost in the course as some sections from 0 to 100 really quick and there's not much explanations on why they are used instead of another method, or why a particular Python package is used. Would be nice to have a few minutes explaining what the packages do to make things clearer. Some sections are outdated and needs to be redone, like the ElephantSQL section. I was able to make it work using Render's PostgreSQL, though. Also, I believe it's critical to add how to properly secure the SECRET_KEY and how it shouldn't be deployed to production environment. A section or two on how to properly set this up using .env files or other methods to properly run the code in production is very important once we deploy things in the real world. Other than those, thank you for this course! I learned a lot and keep it up, Eric!

This is a great introduction to FastAPI. Eric explains the core concepts clearly, and I learned a lot throughout the course. My main suggestion would be to include a JavaScript basics module, similar to the Python basics section. I was able to follow the full-stack part because I already had some JavaScript experience, but I think beginners without that background could struggle. I also felt that some sections, especially the full-stack part, moved a bit too fast and relied on Python libraries without really explaining what they do. I like understanding things in depth, so I would have appreciated a bit more explanation there. Finally, some parts of the code are outdated. Whenever I ran into those issues, I had to rely on the Q&A section or AI tools to figure out the solution. It would be great to update those sections to match the latest versions of the libraries. Overall, I really enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with FastAPI.

Originally I tried Navin Reddy's "FastAPI for Beginners" here on Udemy but sadly, I wasn't impressed and it felt like it was more of an afterthought than a well-thought-out course for beginners. I got Eric Roby's course and and it's definitely much better! YES, it's not as short as some others, but it's pretty thorough as you learn a handful of very useful things: - FastAPI backend basics, FastAPI with databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL. - Testing your FastAPI endpoints/routes through Pytest (it sounds a bit intimidating, but really it's not once you learn how ). - Getting a real full stack project working with real HTML & CSS via Jinja for the front end, and FastAPI + your database for the backend. - Deploying your development environment project to a real-world hosting solution (Render, similar to Heroku) and not a "dashboard" front end like Streamlit etc. The example code provided helped me troubleshoot (usually minor) errors I ran into while following along. The Python refresher section was helpful , too, for avoiding silly mistakes. Videos are typically pretty short (under 10 mins. each) and the course is broken into logical sections. Overall, I'm very happy with it and I look forward to using this new skillset to move into web devlopment and data science. A few relatively minor things were outdated so I hope that's corrected, but information was provided by Eric or user comments, so I was fine when I ran into minor headaches. Thanks!

Initially, the instructor's style felt a bit disorganized with some unnecessary filler and mid-video code changes. However, as I progressed further, I found my understanding vastly improving. You just need to stay highly focused, as every single detail he mentions is important. Once you adapt to his teaching style, the concepts connect beautifully. It requires a bit of patience and full attention at first, but it is definitely worth pushing through!

This course is great. For someone with programming experience in other languages, it was clear, efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you! I just wish there were more quizzes and assessments to reinforce the learning experience.

This course is an outstanding example of how to structure technical content in an effective and rigorous way. Eric Roby demonstrates a highly thoughtful teaching approach: the examples are carefully chosen and built up progressively, at a pace that makes the course very comfortable to follow while ensuring genuine knowledge acquisition and consolidation. What I particularly appreciate is that the complexity increases naturally until it closely resembles a real production environment — something many courses simply fail to achieve. The course coverage is both broad and thorough. Throughout the course, you work through FastAPI fundamentals, authentication and authorization, building production-ready applications, developing a full-stack application, and finally deploying your FastAPI app. A comprehensive journey that covers the complete development lifecycle. Highly recommended for anyone new to FastAPI as well as for developers looking to build a solid, professionally oriented foundation in the framework.
