Update: Deploying a Django app

I will be using DigitalOcean for this course. I find it straightforward to use.

However, I might add additional steps or separate courses for AWS, Azure and GCP later.

Update: Deploying a Django app

Created a simple Django application that connects to a Postgres database.

I posted about the idea of micro-courses on Reddit. The response exceeded my expectations.

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year. May all your dreams and aspirations come true this year.

Few more examples,

1. Deploying a Django application on a VPS
2. Designing CLI tools for server housekeeping
3. Monitoring 500 errors in LIVE/PROD servers
4. Designing a backup policy and automating backups

Any other ideas?

How about outcome-oriented micro-courses that help junior developers learn intermediate and advanced concepts for daily use?

Examples,

1. Implementing webhooks for payment gateways
2. Processing webhook payloads the right way

Most online courses focus on zero-to-one content (introducing the basics of a language or framework).

The idea of micro-courses that focus beyond stage one is intriguing.

Been playing with langchain tools and agents for the past few days. Quite simple, easy to learn and use. I might put something out soon (like a simple tool).

At Webinative, a fresher invests about 12-18 months working 40 hours/week to become a full-stack developer.

Most "full-stack developer in ninety days" programs set you up for failure and/or frustration.

Put in the reps. Consistently.
