Backend Development

Behind every modern application is a powerful backend that handles data, logic, security, and communication between users and systems. Python, combined with the lightweight Flask framework, provides a fast, flexible, and efficient way to build robust backend services. The Backend Development with Python & Flask program introduces learners to the fundamentals of server-side programming and progressively advances into building real-world APIs, authentication systems, and database-driven applications. Designed for beginners, the curriculum starts with core Python concepts and then guides you step by step into structuring Flask applications, handling requests, managing data, and building scalable backend logic. .
