Course Information
Course Overview
Experience building high-performance APIs with Industry-standard best practices. It's gonna be hard but worth it.
This course is a guide to learn FastAPI. The FastAPI documentation is one of the best documentation. This course is for students who love videos as a medium to learn. We will be learning FastAPI with best practices. The Test-Driven Development goat ? will guide our development process. TDD is the way to think of the code before we actually write a piece of code. In this course we will be learning the following core concepts:
Creating APIs : We will implement the below endpoints:
Create
Retrieve
Update
Delete
List Blogs
User Authentication with basic security
Password will be hashed to provide additional security
We will use JSON Web Tokens to authenticate
Tokens won't be stored in LocalStorage or Cookies
Token will be stored in HttpOnly cookie
Version Control System
We will use GIT as our Version Control
Github will be used to host our code
Creating web apps
We will use Jinja Templating Language
We will be working with several forms
Unit Testing
Tests will be written in Pytest
After each testing cycle, the Test database will be cleaned
Test Coverage
How not to write unit tests?
Permissions: A user who has not created the blog, won't be able to delete it.
We will work with Postgres and monitor it using PgAdmin.
Fastapi provides us with built-in OpenAPI docs, we will use the documentation to the fullest. The docs help backend and frontend developers collaborate easily with each other.

I'm really enjoying this course so far. Instructions up to now on how to set up the environment were spot on. The password hashing is failing because it is creating text longer that 72 characters, which means I cannot save a new user.

It helped me understand API development with real-world examples and boosted my confidence in backend development. This FastAPI course is very clear, well-structured, and focused on building real-world, functionality-based products, which makes learning practical and engaging. I especially appreciate the hands-on approach and would love to learn more about handling different conditional image types and experimenting with them in real project scenarios.

Well thought out, easy to follow. Moves fast with background information needed, but that is expected. Very well done.
