Overview

This course connects Lovable with the everyday processes of Python Development. Participants work on realistic scenarios and leave with prompts, workflows and checklists they can use straight away.

Lovable turns plain-language descriptions into complete web applications built on React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Vite. In this one-day course you learn how to phrase requirements so that Lovable produces clean, maintainable code, how to connect a database, authentication and storage through the Supabase integration, and how to steer changes iteratively instead of starting over every time something breaks. The focus is on real workflows: from the first prompt through data model and permission design to a published application running on your own domain.

For developers, Lovable becomes genuinely useful when the generated code does not stay locked inside the tool. You therefore work extensively with the two-way GitHub sync, review the generated code in your own editor, add tests and move the project into your existing toolchain where needed. You also get a clear view of the limits: Row Level Security, Edge Functions, secrets handling, performance and the maintainability of larger codebases. That lets you judge when Lovable is the fastest route and when conventional development or an agentic coding tool is the better fit.

Python powers web back ends, automation, data pipelines and AI applications – often inside the same organisation, which makes codebases notoriously diverse. AI coding assistants and agents have a particularly visible impact here: they write pytest suites around your existing fixtures, add type hints until mypy passes cleanly, migrate legacy scripts to modern packaging with pyproject.toml and walk you through an unfamiliar Django or FastAPI project in minutes rather than days. The key is steering these tools with the right context: project conventions, Ruff rules, test commands and architectural decisions belong in instruction files and prompts. Once you master that, you can delegate routine work with confidence and focus on design, review and business logic.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Who is this course for?

  • Python back-end developers working with Django, Flask or FastAPI
  • Automation and scripting specialists in IT and business units
  • Data and ML engineers maintaining production Python code
  • Tech leads responsible for code quality and review processes
  • Developers modernising legacy Python codebases

Typical challenges we address

  • Ageing codebases with no type hints and patchy test coverage
  • Dependency sprawl across requirements.txt, Poetry, uv and virtual environments
  • Time-consuming reviews and inconsistent style despite linters and formatters
  • Onboarding into unfamiliar projects that rely on undocumented tribal knowledge

What you will be able to do

  • You write prompts that lead Lovable to produce well-structured, maintainable React applications.
  • You connect Supabase for database, authentication and storage and verify Row Level Security.
  • You iterate on the design deliberately without breaking parts of the app that already work.
  • You sync projects with GitHub and continue development in your usual coding environment.
  • Have AI agents reliably deliver pytest suites, type hints and refactorings across your Python codebase.
  • Encode project conventions, tooling such as Ruff, mypy and uv, and test commands so the assistant follows them consistently.
  • Review generated Python code systematically for correctness, security and maintainability before it is merged.

Course outline

Module 1 Fundamentals and prompting strategy
  • How Lovable works: the generated stack of React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui
  • Describing requirements in a structured way: audience, pages, data objects, roles
  • Chat mode versus direct edits: when to plan and when to build
  • Using the knowledge base and project instructions for consistent output
Module 2 Backend with Supabase
  • Connecting a Supabase project and deriving tables from your prompt
  • Setting up authentication with email, magic links and OAuth providers
  • Understanding, reviewing and tightening Row Level Security policies
  • Using Edge Functions, storage buckets and secrets for external APIs
Module 3 Design iteration and UI quality
  • Visual editing of individual elements and targeted layout prompts
  • Working from screenshots and Figma designs
  • Ensuring responsive behaviour, accessibility and design-system consistency
  • Debugging with console output and reverting to earlier versions
Module 4 GitHub sync and a professional workflow
  • Setting up two-way synchronisation with a GitHub repository
  • Continuing work locally in VS Code, Cursor or Claude Code
  • Introducing branches, code review and tests for generated code
  • Keeping dependencies, environment variables and project structure tidy
Module 5 Deployment, operations and limits
  • Publishing with Lovable hosting and a custom domain
  • Alternative deployments via Vercel, Netlify or your own infrastructure
  • Realistically assessing credit usage, project size and common dead ends
  • Security and data-protection review before go-live, including GDPR questions
Module 6 Practice lab: Python Development
  • Generating pytest tests
  • Type hints and mypy clean-up
  • Django migrations and ORM refactoring
  • FastAPI endpoints with Pydantic
  • Modernising legacy scripts
  • Understanding and documenting a codebase
Module 7 Data protection, quality & transfer to daily work
  • Define which source code may be sent to cloud-hosted models, keep secrets from .env files strictly out of context, and check generated code for licence carry-over and newly introduced PyPI dependencies (typosquatting, supply-chain risk). For products with digital elements, obligations under the Cyber Resilience Act are becoming increasingly relevant.
  • Ground rules for safe AI use in your team
  • Checking results: facts, sources, tests and the four-eyes principle
  • Personal action plan for the next 30 days
  • Open questions, outlook and resources for further learning

Practical scenarios from your field

Generating pytest tests

The assistant inspects functions and existing fixtures, writes parametrised pytest tests covering edge cases and mocks for external services, then runs them iteratively until they pass and reach the coverage you are aiming for.

Type hints and mypy clean-up

Untyped code is annotated module by module with type hints, TypedDicts and Protocols. The agent runs mypy or Pyright, interprets the output and fixes issues step by step without changing runtime behaviour.

Django migrations and ORM refactoring

Model changes are planned together with data migrations, makemigrations conflicts are resolved and N+1 queries are fixed with select_related or prefetch_related. The AI flags risks to existing production data before you deploy.

FastAPI endpoints with Pydantic

From a functional description or an OpenAPI draft, the assistant produces Pydantic models, routers, dependency injection and validation logic, complete with error handling and matching tests using the TestClient.

Modernising legacy scripts

Old scripts become proper packages with pyproject.toml, global state is removed, argparse or Click interfaces are added and Ruff rules applied. The agent documents every change clearly in the commit history.

Understanding and documenting a codebase

The assistant explores an unfamiliar repository, produces architecture overviews, explains data flows between modules and fills in missing docstrings in Google or NumPy style so new team members become productive faster.

Possible hands-on projects

Log analysis CLI

A Typer-based command-line tool that reads application logs, clusters error patterns and outputs a concise summary as Markdown or JSON – shipped with tests and proper packaging.

FastAPI microservice with a database

A small REST service with SQLAlchemy, Alembic migrations, Pydantic validation and a Docker setup, planned, implemented and tested end to end by an AI agent.

Dependency audit script

A script that lists all project dependencies, checks for outdated or vulnerable packages against public advisory databases and produces a prioritised upgrade report.

Prerequisites

Basic web development knowledge (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and some experience with Git are helpful. Prior React or Supabase experience is not required. Solid Python skills plus hands-on experience with Git, virtual environments and at least one framework such as Django, Flask or FastAPI.

Technical requirements

A laptop with an up-to-date browser, a Lovable account (a paid plan is recommended for intensive use) and free GitHub and Supabase accounts.

Data protection & compliance

Define which source code may be sent to cloud-hosted models, keep secrets from .env files strictly out of context, and check generated code for licence carry-over and newly introduced PyPI dependencies (typosquatting, supply-chain risk). For products with digital elements, obligations under the Cyber Resilience Act are becoming increasingly relevant.

Frequently asked questions

Do I own the code Lovable generates?

Yes. The output is standard React and TypeScript code that you can push to your own repository via the GitHub sync. From there it can be developed, tested and deployed entirely independently of Lovable. In the course we show you how to set this up properly from day one so you avoid any lock-in.

Is Lovable suitable for production applications?

For prototypes, MVPs, internal tools and modest customer-facing apps, yes, provided you review security and the data model carefully. Supabase Row Level Security, secrets handling and the maintainability of a growing codebase all need attention. The course covers exactly which checks make sense before you go live.

How does Lovable differ from Cursor or Claude Code?

Lovable is a browser-based app builder with a fixed stack, built-in hosting and Supabase integration, which makes it ideal for getting started quickly. Cursor and Claude Code work inside any existing codebase and technology. Many teams combine them: start in Lovable, then continue in the editor via GitHub.

Does AI-assisted coding work in large Django monoliths?

Yes, provided the agent gets the right context. On the course you learn to create instruction files describing architecture rules, app structure and test commands, and to scope tasks so the assistant works on individual apps or modules. Changes stay manageable and reviewable even when the overall project is very large.

Will AI replace my code reviews?

No. AI assistants speed up writing code and can prepare reviews by pointing out missing tests or risky sections, but functional and security accountability stays with your team. We show how to combine review checklists, static analysis and tests so that generated code meets exactly the same quality bar as hand-written code.

How much does “Lovable for Python Developers” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 1 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
