Course Description

A Verifiable Certificate of Completion is presented to all students who undertake this course.
This Web Programming with Python course takes you through a hands-on guide to object-oriented python web programming, working with multiple types of servers, databases and web frameworks. All that is required to get started is a very basic background knowledge of Python, as instructor Mike McMillan begins these Python web programming tutorials with two chapters of review and then goes step by step through the necessary concepts at every stage of development. You'll get a detailed primer on database programming with Python, installing an SQLite server and performing routine data selections and operations; you'll learn how to interact with FTP and email services using native Python code; see how to process web form data via Python; and learn how to interact with web database applications and utilize XML. Finally, the Python web programming course ends with a chapter on configuring and working with Django, a modern web framework that allows you to create and manage complex database-driven websites. There's not a better course for taking Python concepts and applying them to real world projects.What You Will Learn:- How to use Python object-oriented programming techniques within web-based projects, from online databases to complete websites.- How to install and configure basic web-based databases using Python code.- The essentials of XML and how it can be used in conjunction with Python projects.- How to implement and work with Django to manage full database-driven websites.Who Should I Take This Python web programming Course:- Anyone with a basic background knowledge of Python and object-oriented programming (OOC) who wants to see how the language can be used for web-specific projects.- Anyone who wants a better understanding of SQLite, XML, and online database standards.- Anyone looking to increase their knowledge of the Python programming language and its practical application.What People Are Saying about this Python web programming course:"Honestly I thought my Python knowledge would be a little too rusty, but everything was presented very clearly and the review really helped."-V. Vargas"Had another python course before this from another teacher but it was pretty thin on projects...this is awesome because it got me to use my coding skills right away...thanks."-Gene Tredwell"The Django documentation I found online was a little confusing, and not really complete; Mike is quite thorough, making it easy to get started." -Markos Psilakis

The django chapter was rushed, just showing the 'how' rather than the 'why'.

it's great for basic python

First nine chapters really good, the last one is way overlooked.

Author just throws stuff at us, not explaining the options that he's using or telling us about other options.

Good course but a little rushed at some points

Very good course, like all of Mike's courses. This one is getting a bit dated and I ran into some issues on some lessons but, in nearly every instance a fellow student has already supplied a fix or work around.

Very interesting approach and helpful for beginners.

didn't learn much from this course other than some keywords and instructions on how to install things ...

Flow of information is just right for intermediate programmers to learn Python.

This should be titled "A Beginner's Guide to Starting Web Programming with Python". As such, it works, but it does leave quite a road ahead. As such the list price is very steep.

I'll be interested in seeing how the other classes I've purchased from this vendor pans out in comparison.

I also find it interesting that with 1052 students (at this point in time) that it has no star rating and only a couple of hand-picked reviews available in the Info/About popup page.

Very good, just wish there was more explanation on the Django chapter

I got bulloxed up beginning in the 5th section. But once I figured out that I need to be using Python 2.7, I completed the exercises much more smoothly. I had several books on Django, and hadn't figured out how to enable the web admin tool. Very helpful. This is a great start, and if there were more advanced django courses by the same author, I'd definitely sign up for them.
