What's inside

Nine courses

Introduction to Back-End Development

(18 hours)
Introduction to Back-End Development is the first course in the Meta Back-End Developer program. You will learn about the day-to-day responsibilities of a web developer and get a general understanding of the core and underlying technologies that power the internet.

Django Web Framework

(45 hours)
It's time to build something bigger. In this course, you will use the Django web framework to build, secure and administer a web server. You will have the opportunity to create, design and configure a web app using the Django framework in-line with best practices.

Programming in Python

In this course, you will learn Python syntax, modules, libraries, and tools. You'll also learn about objects, classes, methods, variables, data types, control flow, loops, functions, and data structures. By the end, you'll be able to:

The Full Stack

(24 hours)
As you prepare for your role in back-end development, practice combining skills to build a full-stack Django app. You’ll start by setting up an environment for a local project, and refactoring the front and back-ends of an existing application. You will then create the front and back-ends of a new application using your full-stack developer skills.

Version Control

Learn how modern software developers collaborate globally without disrupting each other's code. We'll explore version control systems and create an effective software development workflow. You'll be introduced to common Linux commands for working with files and automating tasks, saving time and effort.

APIs

(16 hours)
Delve deeper into APIs and their infrastructure. Explore key concepts in API development and REST architecture. Build basic API and REST data backbones for web apps using Django. Discover emerging API technology and practice other ways to build and work with APIs. Finally, you will test, optimize and develop documentation for an API.

Introduction to Databases for Back-End Development

(11 hours)
Back-end developers write applications that end-users use to interact with databases. These applications allow end-users to store, search, extract, and manipulate data. Therefore, it’s essential that all back-end developers possess strong knowledge and experience with how databases work.

Coding Interview Preparation

(16 hours)
The final course in this program will help prepare you for a coding job interview. You'll gain insights and tips for successful interviewing, as well as approaches to problem-solving and computer science foundations needed to land the job.

Back-End Developer Capstone

(16 hours)
The Capstone project enables you to demonstrate multiple skills by solving an authentic real-world problem. You’ll test your abilities in full-stack back-end development in a real-life scenario by composing a Django web app. Each module includes a brief recap of, and links to, content that you have covered in previous courses in this program.
