The Capstone project enables you to demonstrate multiple skills by solving an authentic real-world problem. You’ll test your abilities in full-stack back-end development in a real-life scenario by composing a Django web app. Each module includes a brief recap of, and links to, content that you have covered in previous courses in this program.

You will use clean and bug-free coding to create a Django web server with multiple API endpoints and connect it to a MySQL database. You’ll also create a template system driven by Django views. B​y the end of the course you will be able to: • Compose a backend application using multiple skills • Use Django to serve static HTML content • Commit the project to a Git repository • Connect the backend to the database • Implement the menu and table booking APIs • Set up user registration and authentication • Test the application with unit tests and Insomnia • Synthesize the skills from this course and evaluate other learners • Reflect on this project's content and on the learning path that lies ahead. On completion of the Capstone project, you’ll have a project-based portfolio that you can show to potential employers when interviewing for an engineering role. To complete this course, you will need back-end developer experience. Additionally, it always helps to have a can-do attitude!

In this module, you will get practical hands-on experience using the Django web framework.
