Title: Python Full-Stack Development
Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to full-stack web development using Python. Students will learn the fundamentals of both front-end and back-end development, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Flask, Django, SQL, and more. Through a series of hands-on projects and exercises, students will gain practical experience in building dynamic web applications.
