  • Purpose and learning objectives

    The objective of the course is to qualify the student to develop advanced web applications in fully-featured web development frameworks (mainly Django), using standard protocols and server-side technologies, with real-world complications.

    Knowledge

    • Python programming
    • Django framework features and design approach
    • Model-View-Template design pattern
    • Standard web-based protocols and technologies
    • Best practice web-development methods
    • Issues related to real-world web hosting

    Skills

    • Use tests to ensure code quality
    • Implement and use REST APIs
    • Defer long-running tasks outside the request/response cycle
    • Use middleware to interact with requests and responses
    • Make use of event-based actions
    • Facilitate both synchronous and asynchronous communication
    • Design and implement advanced web-based applications and APIs using the Python
    programming language and the Django framework

    Competences

    The objective is that the student will have acquired proficiency to design and develop advanced web-based applications with real-world complications using a back-end framework.

  • Type of instruction
    The course is based on Problem-Based Learning. The students are introduced to the Python programming language and the Django web development framework through the development of a simple application as class collaboration. The students must then apply their knowledge in developing a larger application project, where the student must also acquire new knowledge on their own to complete the development. The teacher will act as a supervisor in the development project, so the students are not left on their own.
