Description

Welcome to Web Development Bootcamp: Building SaaS with Python & Django course. This is a comprehensive project based course where you will learn how to build a fully functional expense tracker SaaS website from scratch using Django, HTML, and CSS. This course is a perfect combination between Python and web development, making it an ideal opportunity to practice your programming skills while improving your technical knowledge in SaaS business. In the introduction session, you will learn the basic fundamentals of Django, such as getting to know its use cases and technical limitations. Then, in the next section we will create the project folder and install all Python packages needed for this project. Afterward, we will start the project. Firstly, we are going to create a function to enable users to upload a file or image and build optical character recognition using EasyOCR so the system can extract text and transaction amounts from the scanned receipt. This feature enables users to save time by automatically capturing essential expense details without the need for manual entry. Next, we are going to create a function to allow users to add, update, and delete transactions manually. This feature enables users to manage their data with full flexibility and maintain accurate records. Following that, we are also going to create a spending tracker dashboard where users can view a table of recent transactions in a structured and readable layout. This feature enables users to easily track their day to day expenses and gain a clear overview of their spending activity. In the next section, we are going to build expense categorization and data visualization features, allowing users to assign categories such as utilities, travel, healthcare, shopping, entertainment, food and dining. Additionally, the users will also be able to visualize their spending data, for example, the system can present the data using a bar chart to show the top three spending categories and a pie chart showing category breakdown in percentages format. Then, after that, we are going to create a system that detects duplicate transactions and allows users to remove them, while also enabling users to set budget limits for each category. This feature enables users to avoid redundant entries and receive alerts or notification when their spending exceeds the budget. In addition, we are going to create synthetic data for simulation, which will support testing and demonstration purposes. Lastly, at the end of the course, we will conduct functional and performance testing to ensure each feature works correctly and the website performs well under different conditions.Firstly, before getting into the course, we need to ask this question to ourselves, why should we use Django for web development? Well, here is my answer, Django is a powerful and well organized web framework that helps developers build secure and robust applications quickly. It handles many common tasks, such as user authentication, form handling, database operations, and page routing. This allows you to focus more on building your core features instead of starting everything from scratch. Even if you have limited experience in front end web development, Django makes the process easier by providing built in tools and a clear project structure. Additionally, Django is easy to integrate with other tools and supports a smooth deployment process, making it a great choice for building any type of websites or applications.Below are things that you can expect to learn from this course:Learn the basic fundamentals of Django, such as getting to know its use cases, technical limitations, and main featuresLearn how to build spending tracker SaaS using Python, Django, HTML, and CSSLearn how to create web home page and add multiple tabsLearn how to create function for uploading fileLearn how to build optical character recognition system using EasyOCRLearn how to create functions to add, update, and delete dataLearn how to build spending analytics dashboardLearn how to create functions for generating bar chart and pie chartLearn how to create function to detect duplicatesLearn how to set up page routing and create custom filtersLearn how to create HTML document structure and style tabs using CSSLearn how to design navigation and tab structureLearn how to design user interface for file scanner and OCRLearn how to design user interface for expense & analytics dashboardLearn how to design user interface for duplicate detection and budget alert tabsLearn how to perform functional and performance testing
