FastAPI for Busy Software Engineers

Who Has Time for a 20 Hour Course?

No one busy. In this course, I compress all the key principles, tactics and approaches I've learned from using FastAPI in production to get you up-to-speed with this web development framework...fast. All practical videos have accompanying code.

No Fluff

Check out the curriculum below to see what is covered:

• All lectures have matching source code
• All techniques are tried and tested in production
• All carefully curated into a 4-hour bundle
• Plenty of extra reading/material for those who wish to go deep down the rabbit hole.

Course Pre-Requisites (Don't Skip Me!)

This is an Intermediate Course!

Concepts not covered (i.e. you should already be familiar):

• Python basics
• What a REST API is
• git
• React (we just cover the integration with FastAPI) - note that this is just one section, so the rest of the course will be fine.

If you've used Flask/Django before, this course is ideal.

If you've never created an API before but have a decent knowledge of Python this course is doable, but you'll need Google some stuff and do extra work.

Testimonials

"It is what the instructor described it to be - a no-fluff, straight to the point FastAPI course for experienced programmers. You need to know about Python and APIs, but if you've used Flask and wondered if there's a better way to serve APIs using Python, this is the course for you."

- Stan

"This is one of the best course I ever took in my busy schedules. The fact that I was able to finish it, say more about less fluppiness and straight to the point this course is. I'm currently using this course to build a goverment registration system. So thank you so much Chris, you're making alot of different. I'll look forward for more courses for busy folks like me."
