Creating web applications in Python: course CODDY and VMK MSU - course 56,700 rub. from Coddy School of Programming for Children, training 7 modules (months)

But behind the clear façade lies a rapidly growing stack of technologies that have limitless potential and open up a ton of opportunities for both web users and web developers. Specialists have many tools in their arsenal that allow them to solve almost any given problem, but none of them compares to the Python language.

Why Python

According to the PYPL Programming Language Popularity Index, Python currently ranks first with a 28% share and steady growth. It appeared only two years later than the World Wide Web and has now supplanted a significant part of other languages. And this is not surprising.

Python is widely used in such fundamental areas as:

• big data;
• machine learning;
• statistics and visualization;
• system administration (as a scripting language);
• game development;
• creation of software for almost all areas of human activity;
• web applications.

Python is very easy to learn and is often recommended by experts as the first language to learn. This means that anyone can master it thanks to its convenient syntax and very pleasant, logical appearance of the program code.

It is not for nothing that the younger generation today is studying all kinds of literature on this topic, communicating in thematic IT blogs, writes trial programs - builds his personal trajectories of professional development. If your child has been interested in the IT field, programming languages ​​and new technologies from an early age and has already paid attention to Python, then it’s time to start an in-depth study. But where to start? Even enough to independently work on the classic two-volume work by M. Lutz's "Learning Python" will take months to read.

Especially to solve such problems, the CODDY programming school together with the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov has developed a new, unique educational project for creating web applications in Python for teenagers 13-16 years old.

A little about the course

The partnership of the CODDY school with the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University has experience in launching successful electives, so the course in web development is aimed at advanced level students – those who already have basic skills in working with a programming language Python.

Candidates will be selected based on the results of a special test aimed at identifying their level of Python proficiency. Graduates of our previous course “Development of chatbots and games in Python”, also organized and conducted jointly with colleagues from Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov, will be able to take part in the course without an entrance test.

The duration of the course is 7 months. Its distinctive feature is a more in-depth study of Python as a web development language, as well as unique classes on public speaking, team building and project presentations developed by teachers from Moscow State University.

Do I need any basic knowledge of Python before starting this course?

Knowledge of basic Python topics is required, as well as the ability to work with at least one library:

1. Input and output, working with variables 
2. Conditional statements 
3. For Loops, While Loops 
4. Working with Strings 
5. Lists 
6. Dictionaries
7. Functions 
8. Basic work with modules

What is included in the course program:

• consolidation of knowledge about data types and structures;
• advanced study of object-oriented programming;
• developing skills in working with the command line and web application infrastructure;
• development of web applications using the unique and convenient Flask microframework, which is successfully used in global diversified services such as Netflix, Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, as well as social networks and media platforms such as Reddit, Pinterest and LinkedIn;
• studying various aspects of using templates, web forms and databases when creating a web application and much more.

A significant part of the course will be the development and defense of their own projects, in which students will train skills both in the technical aspects of web development and in matters of marketing and management of innovative projects. The expert commission will include teachers from Moscow State University, teachers from the CODDY programming school and representatives of leading Russian IT companies.
