Learn the Django REST Framework

For Django developers who want to learn the Django REST Framework and extend their apps by adding an API. Create APIs With Django is the course that will help you learn the Django REST Framework quickly.

Why Django REST Framework? Even though Django by itself is very powerful, it is not well suited to developing large APIs. That's where the Django REST Framework comes in. It's an extension that will help you build better APIs in Django, faster.

You'll start by learning the basics of how APIs work on the web. Then I'll show you how to build an API in Django without using the Django REST Framework. This is so you will understand all the magic the framework will do you for once you finally use it. Then I rebuild the same API using less code so you can see the power of the framework. Next, I cover an example of implementing an API to an external spec so you see the options to conform your API to whatever is necessary. Finally, I talk about the different ways to handle authorization and permissions in the Django REST Framework.

Once you enroll, you'll get access to several hours of content that you can work through at your own pace. Code for all the videos is included, which makes it much easier for you to follow along. You can protect your investment by downloading the course videos and code. Once you purchase the course, feel free to download all the videos and code in the course to add to your personal library.

I'm always available to answer questions. Each video has its own comment section that I monitor. If you want proof of my willingness to respond, check any of my YouTube videos. I respond to every comment!

The skills you learn in this course will put you on the path of creating your own APIs in Django. At the end of the course, you should understand the fundamentals of building APIs with the Django REST Framework.
