Expand your skills in backend web development using Python

Join us for PyDay

Are you interested in learning more about web development using Python? Join us for an exciting online event led by experienced developer and educator Pamela Fox, where you'll learn how to build, test, and deploy HTTP APIs and web applications using three of the most popular Python frameworks: FastAPI, Django, and Flask. This event is perfect for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills in backend web development using Python.

No web application experience is required, but some previous Python experience is encouraged. If you're completely new to Python, head over to https://aka.ms/trypython to kickstart your learning!

PyDay Schedule:

Session 1: Build, Test, and Deploy HTTP APIs with FastAPI @ 9:30 AM PST

In this session, you'll learn how to build, test, and deploy HTTP APIs using FastAPI, a lightweight Python framework. You'll start with a bare-bones FastAPI app and gradually add routes and frontends. You'll also learn how to test your code and deploy it to Azure App Service.

Session 2: Cloud Databases for Web Apps with Django @  11:10 AM PST

In this session, you'll discover the power of Django for building web apps with a database backend. We’ll walk through building a Django app, using the SQLTools VS Code extension to interact with a local PostgreSQL database, and deploying it using infrastructure-as-code to Azure App Service with Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server.

Session 3: Containerizing Python Web Apps with Docker  @ 1:50 PM PST

In this session, you’ll learn about Docker containers, the industry standard for packaging applications. We’ll containerize a Python Flask web app using Docker, run the container locally, and deploy it to Azure Container Apps with the help of Azure Container Registry.
