🆓 Free Video Series – Foundations of FastAPI

These videos are available to everyone. In the free series, we'll cover:

Lesson 1: What is FastAPI? Why Use It?
Introduction and setup
Learn about FastAPI’s ecosystem, how it compares to other frameworks, and how to create your very first “Hello, world!” style app.

Lesson 2: Building Your First API Endpoint
Creating routes and handling parameters
Develop basic GET and POST endpoints, work with path and query parameters, and return JSON responses.

Lesson 3: Data Validation with Pydantic
Modeling and data integrity
Use Pydantic to create and enforce data models, ensuring that your APIs accept only the correct data.

Lesson 4: Dependency Injection and Structuring Your App
Building scalable, maintainable code
