Why Learn FastAPI?

FastAPI is one of the fastest-growing Python web frameworks...and in this course, you'll see why. Starting from zero, you'll build your first FastAPI app step-by-step.

You’ll go beyond just learning syntax. We’ll show you how to create interactive apps that handle data via POST requests, use Swagger UI for testing, and adopt vibe-coding practices to make your code cleaner and more intuitive.

But we don’t stop there. You’ll take a fully working FastAPI app and transform it into an MCP server, giving your app integration power and flexibility. Finally, you'll deploy both the app and MCP server to the cloud using Render - so your project isn’t just real, it’s live for the world to use!
