The Full Stack (Coursera)

Offered by Meta,
The Full Stack (Coursera)

As you prepare for your role in back-end development, practice bringing together multiple skills to build a full-stack Django app. You’ll start by setting up an environment for a local practical project, and refactoring the front and back-ends of an existing application. You will then have the opportunity to create the front and back-ends of a new application using your full-stack developer skills.

  • Use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to develop well-structured, interactive and responsive websites
  • Build a full stack application using Django that stores its data in models on a MySQL database and updates its pages with forms and API endpoints
  • Describe the different environments that web applications are deployed to

To complete this course you will need previous experience with back-end development, Python, version control, databases, Django web framework and APIs.

This course is part of the Meta Back-End Developer Professional Certificate.
