htmx is one of the hottest properties in web development today, and for good reason. This framework, along with the libraries and techniques introduced in this course, will have you writing the best Python web apps you've ever written: clean, fast, and interactive without all that frontend overhead.
If you are a Python web developer that has wanted to build more dynamic, interactive apps, but just don't want to (or can't) write a significant portion of your app in a rich frontend JavaScript framework, you'll absolutely love htmx. This library lets you write Python code you love and still add that clientside interactive aspect.

About the Author: KnowThen (James Moore)
KnowThen (knowthen.com) is the long-running teaching brand of James Moore — known for unusually clear introductory courses on functional-programming-leaning languages and frameworks that the wider course market doesn't cover well.
The CourseFlix listing carries three KnowThen courses: Elm Beyond the Basics (the functional front-end language), Elixir & Phoenix for Beginners (the BEAM-based back-end stack), and HTMX + Django — Modern Python Web Apps, Hold the JavaScript (the server-rendered alternative to SPA architectures).
Material is paid and aimed at developers exploring the alternatives to the dominant JavaScript-and-React-everywhere paradigm. For broader content, see CourseFlix's Elixir, Elm, and Django category pages.
