Course overview

Accessing, processing, and presenting data are the essentials of application development. Data is usually stored in databases, either on the cloud or on-premise. Developers need to learn how to access this data via programming languages. The Developing Applications course by edX will help you get comfortable with these programming languages and introduce you to various fundamental database concepts.

The Developing Applications course starts with SQL, a powerful yet simple programming language for managing and querying data. You will also engage in hands-on cloud database experiments. Besides SQL, the course also covers other software like Django, using which you will create a full-blown web app that can persist, present, and process data.

With the Developing Applications programme, you will also learn how to work with databases using object-oriented programming through Object-Relational Mapping (ORM). All the information will be provided through video lectures, assignments, and readings. There’s also a certificate option available if you wish to showcase your skills and advance your career.
