Master advanced techniques and best practices for building professional-quality backends. Following the concepts we mastered in Part 2, we're now going to take our backend to the next level.

You'll learn how to:

  • Build an API for uploading files
  • Write automated tests with PyTest
  • Find performance bottlenecks
  • Implement caching with Redis
  • Run background jobs with Celery
  • Deploy your backends to the cloud
  • Plus much, much more.

By the end of Part 3, you'll have mastered these concepts, which means you'll be able to produce professional-quality backends with confidence.

About the Author: Mosh Hamedani (Code with Mosh)

Mosh Hamedani (Code with Mosh) thumbnail

Mosh Hamedani is the founder of Code with Mosh, one of the highest-volume independent online instructors in software education. He has been publishing courses continuously since the early Udemy era and has taught over a million students across his Udemy catalog and his standalone Code with Mosh platform. His teaching style is patient, rigorously structured, and deliberately beginner-tolerant — the courses are widely cited as some of the most accessible introductions to their respective topics.

The Code with Mosh catalog covers an unusually wide span: web development with HTML / CSS / JavaScript / React / Angular / Node.js, Python and Django, C# and .NET, mobile development with React Native and Flutter, SQL and database fundamentals, and the algorithm / data-structure interview prep tracks. Few independent instructors maintain this much breadth at consistent quality.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 35 Code with Mosh courses spanning that range. Material is paid; Code with Mosh runs on per-course pricing on the original platform. Courses are aimed primarily at developers picking up a new technology from a clean start through to working production proficiency.
