A Python project with coding framework and unit testing

Learn how to code and unit test Python applications in a real world project. Go beyond the basics by solving a practical use case step by step. This course is designed for Python beginners who want to transition for academic background to a real world developer role !

Course Project :

You will be building a Python application to read data from files and store the data into PostgreSQL database. You will be creating REST endpoints using which external users will interact with your application data. All the industry standard best practices in terms of logging, error handling, config file, code structuring will be used in the application.
