py4web is an open-source, Python-based web framework. This site contains the material for a class that covers py4web in 10 weeks. The class is taught at the UCSC School of Engineering by Luca de Alfaro. Feel free to use the material provided here, and feel free to suggest new material (new videos, tutorials, and so forth). In fact, feel free to re-make improved versions of the videos, and I will be happy to include them.
In particular, the class is based on the following frameworks:
For more details, you can read the class syllabus.
The lectures are organized into units. The syllabus provides an overview of the whole class. Each unit contains videos, pointers to resources, and links to the code repositories used in that unit. All code is provided as part of the learn-py4web code on GitHub; the code was updated since the lectures were recorded but the changes are minor. The videos are provided both via Google Drive, and via YouTube; the ones on YouTube should have better captions, thanks to the UC Santa Cruz Disability Resource Center. The videos can also be found in this YouTube playlist.
