Master full-stack development

‍In this advanced set of courses, you’ll explore the most critical aspects of software engineering, from API development to managing relational databases and building secure backend systems. You’ll learn how to design, implement, and deploy full-stack applications that meet industry standards. These courses will challenge you to think critically about software design, improve your ability to manage complex projects, and prepare you to take on leadership roles in the tech industry. By the end, you’ll have mastered the art of full-stack development and be ready to tackle any software engineering challenge that comes your way.

The Bletchley Institute x Flatiron School difference:

• Learn to build back-end applications and apis and bring that together with your front-end knowledge to deploy full-stack applications
• Train on industry-standard software and gain production experience
• Be mentored by a world-class software engineer
• Small group classes (max 5 students)

‍

Pre-requisite programs: Software Engineering Essentials, Software Engineering Foundations I

For these advanced courses, you’ll need:

• Strong JavaScript skills, including experience with modern frameworks like React.
• A good grasp of Python programming, especially in the context of backend development.
• Familiarity with database management, including SQL and API development.

Upon completion of this program, you'll be able to move on to the Software Engineering Capstone.

Object Oriented Programming with Python - 3 weeks 

This course introduces essential Python programming concepts for backend development, focusing on object modeling and complex relationships like one-to-many and many-to-many, commonly used in databases. It concludes with a project to create a CLI application demonstrating these relationships.

What you'll learn:

• Apply a programmatic thinking process for back-end development
• Create components for a backend database interactions using industry standard design practices
• Integrate industry standard techniques for a databases

‍API Development with Python- 3 weeks 

In this course, you'll learn to use a Python library/framework to build dynamic REST APIs, focusing on data exchange, validation, and client-server communication. The course concludes with a project to create a REST API and a basic React client.

What you'll learn:

• Apply a programmatic thinking process for back-end development
• Create components for an API using industry standard design practices
• Integrate industry standard techniques for an API 

‍Relational Databases - 3 weeks

In this course, you'll learn SQL and Flask-SQLAlchemy to build robust APIs that interact with relational databases. You'll master data manipulation and complex model relationships, culminating in a project where you create an API that seamlessly connects to a relational database and handles intricate data structures.

What you'll learn:

• Query relational databases using DDL, DML, and DQL.
• Model relational data with normalization.
• Use an ORM to interact with a relational database.
• Set up constraints and validations to secure the application.  

‍Backend Development with Python - 3 weeks

This course teaches you to build robust and secure web applications using Flask. You'll master client-server communication, JWT authentication, and backend development. The course concludes with a project where you'll create a full-fledged API with user login, authorization, and seamless data flow.

What you'll learn:

• Manage client-server interactions.
• Create an industry standard auth flow.
• Deploy a full-stack application.
