Python Full Stack Developer Course Syllabus (With PDF)

Companies are adopting newer technologies to shift their workforce to operate remotely, and people are using technology to streamline their work processes. This has resulted in a significant expansion in the use of applications, increasing the demand for Python full-stack developers.

Python ranks among the top five most-used programming languages in India and globally. 

However, there is still a gap between industry demands and developers’ skill sets. 

After training more than 30,000 students over the last 5+ years, we believe theory is not sufficient to survive the competition. We have, therefore, carefully designed a Python full-stack curriculum to bridge this gap and help learners get better opportunities.

What topics come under the Python full stack developer course?

Multiple topics come under the Python full-stack developer course. These developers can handle both sides of web development, including the software’s front and back ends. 

To provide well-rounded solutions with minimum errors and improved efficiency, they need to learn multiple topics. Some of them are listed below. 

1. Basics of Python programming 

Understanding Python programming concepts, including syntax and data types, operators, string operations, working with tuples, lists, set operations, etc., is necessary. This programming language can be used for frontend and backend development or full stack development for web applications. 

With fundamental concepts of programming, you can write and run different Python codes to execute web development-related tasks. 

2. Knowledge of popular Python libraries

To build powerful and sophisticated applications, you need to be familiar with popular Python libraries. These include an understanding of Django, Flask, and Pyramid for Python full-stack web development. Other than these, you can learn about Pandas, Matplotlib, sciPy, NumPy, and Seaborn for data science projects and sci-kit-learn for machine learning projects. These libraries provide previously written codes for various tasks and save you time in writing them. 

As a Python full-stack developer, you need to learn different aspects of an application, and these applications offer the necessary tools and functionalities to perform diverse tasks smoothly. 

3. Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript 

As a full-stack developer, you can use Python for back-end development, but for building user interfaces and handling client-side interactions, you need to know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While HTML and CSS are responsible for creating the look and feel of your website, JavaScript, AJAX, and JQuery help in making them responsive and engaging.

4. Knowledge of database systems 

Web applications and software often need to store and retrieve data, which means you need to learn database systems. It includes learning data modelling techniques, database design principles, schema designs, query languages, and database administration. You must also have a good understanding of data structures and algorithms. Under the database system curriculum, you will learn string functions, constraints, refining selections, working with MySQL workbench, working with aggregate functions and SQL files, and more. 

5. Experience with popular frameworks 

The multiple Python frameworks, including AIOHTTP, Dash, Falcon, Django, Flask, and more that developers require for full-stack projects. You can concentrate mainly on Django and Flask. These frameworks help build robust and scalable web applications and software and handle multiple tasks like URL routing, database integration, request/response handling, and more. 

6. Familiarity with popular IDEs and code editors

IDEs and code editors provide multiple features and tools to enhance your productivity and workflow, save time, and reduce errors. Having experience with these tools, you can develop applications efficiently.

Is Python full stack developer course difficult to learn?

Python full stack developer course is difficult to learn if you are a beginner in the domain. Besides learning Python programming language, you need to have expertise in database management, AWS, different frameworks like Flask, and web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 

Having theoretical knowledge isn’t enough; you need to keep learning and practising regularly to become an expert in full-stack development using Python. Having frustrations with errors in applications is common, and practising regularly will help you identify bugs and solve them. 

While it is true that Python is easy to learn, we checked practitioners’ opinions on Quora if learning Python full stack development would be useful for getting jobs. They say yes! However, knowing only Python is not enough, and that’s what makes learning Python full-stack development difficult. 

What are the things I need to know to become an expert Python full-stack developer? 

What is the salary of a Full-stack Python developer in India?

The average salary of a full stack Python developer in India is ₹4.0 LPA with an estimated monthly take-home salary of ₹29,531 – ₹30,852. An early-stage developer can earn around ₹1.4 LPA. However, with a little more experience in the domain and expertise, they can earn up to ₹9.2 LPA. 

The table below illustrates a Python full-stack developer salary range in the top-tier cities of India.

Is Python full stack development a good career?

Yes, Python full stack development is a good career in 2024 and will maintain its graph in the next few years. 

The demand for full-stack developers is rising as companies prefer spending on one professional rather than hiring 2 to 3 people for different tasks. In research by Statista, we saw Full Stack developers were in high demand next to back-end developers in 2023. So, we are expecting that Python full-stack developers will find more opportunities in 2024.

Demand for Python full-stack developers is high:

The demand for Python full-stack developers is high because of their knowledge of different topics and varied skill sets. Companies would like to hire an all-around professional who can design, develop, and maintain web applications and software all at a time.

The graph below illustrates the demand for Python full stack developers in India over the last 2 years.

Multiple job opportunities:

Learning Python full stack development opens the door to multiple job opportunities, like Python development, web designing and development, front-end or back-end development, database management, software testing, and more. These professionals are highly demanded in multiple domains, including finance, e-commerce, health, education, etc. We have researched Python full-stack developer job vacancies in India on LinkedIn and found 1300+ new vacancies for Python experts in full-stack development, back-end development and more. 

We also searched on Indeed and Glassdoor for Python full-stack development opportunities. On Indeed, we found that there are 1000+ job vacancies for full-stack Python development, and on Glassdoor, we found 1400+ vacancies.

Salary is high:

You may not be earning like Java full-stack developers in India, but you can earn handsome pay in this domain with constant practice, upskilling, and industry experience. Full stack developers are highly paid in India as they are masters of multiple skills. 

Better work-life balance:

Python full-stack developers can work remotely, which ensures they have a healthy work-life balance. While looking for the true scenario of work-life balance, we researched AmbitionBox and found IBM employees rated it 4.0/5, which is good. Not just IBM but employees from TCS, UST, Infosys, and multiple other companies have seen this change in work-life balance in the past few years.

How many months is the full stack Python developer course?

It takes around 3-4 months or 100 days to complete a full-stack Python developer course. However, the duration of this course may vary with different institutes as it depends on multiple factors. These can be the course curriculum, number of practical sessions, projects completed, class duration, trainers’ expertise, etc. 

However, even if you complete the course within 100 days, you must keep practising and check our updated course materials. It will help you meet the current industry requirements and avoid layoffs. Most of the layoffs in companies are the reason for the skill gap in the industry. Our course aims to bridge that gap and ensure that our learners survive the competition.
