The Ultimate Django Series is your complete guide to building fast and secure backends with Django. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your skills, this course will take you from zero to hero in building robust backends. Together, we’ll build the backend for an e-commerce application using Python, Django, and MySQL.
You’ll start by understanding the fundamentals of Django and its role in web development, before diving into setting up MySQL, creating database tables, and interacting with data using Django ORM. You’ll also learn to manage your application data with Django Admin, implement authentication, and build RESTful backends with Django—all while keeping your application secure with JSON Web Tokens.
Throughout the course, we’ll focus on troubleshooting like a pro, finding performance bottlenecks, caching data with Redis, and running background jobs with Celery. You’ll also learn to write automated tests with pytest and apply industry best practices to ensure your code is clean, efficient, and scalable.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to confidently build and deploy powerful backends with Django and MySQL, following the same techniques used by professional developers.

Don’t just take my word for it—hear from students who have transformed their skills and careers with this course.
I have watched many free courses and parts of paid courses, just a handful of lecturers are comparable to Mosh. I am enjoying the course and am building a real web app along the way. I have a CS degree but am totally new to web development. Will take more courses from Mosh (JavaScript and React).
