Frequently asked questions
Is this course suitable for beginners?
You need basic Python knowledge (variables, loops, functions) or experience in another programming language. We don't teach absolute programming basics.
How long does the course take?
On average 8–12 weeks at 10–12 hours per week. Access is lifetime, so you can go at your own pace.
What stack will I learn?
Python 3.12+, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis, pytest, Docker, Git, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
What projects will I build?
Three real projects: a REST API with authentication, a task queue service with Redis, and a final capstone — a deployed production-ready API.
Will this help me get a job?
You'll finish with a real portfolio, a deployed project, and the vocabulary to pass backend interviews. On the Pro plan, we also help with your resume and mock interviews.
Are the materials updated?
Yes, we revise the curriculum at least once a year to stay aligned with current best practices and library versions.
Can I switch plans?
Yes, from your account dashboard. You only pay the difference in price.
