Course Overview
Build professional REST APIs with Python, Flask, Docker, Flask-Smorest, and Flask-SQLAlchemy
Are you tired of boring, outdated, incomplete, or incorrect tutorials? I say no more to copy-pasting code that you don’t understand.
Welcome to the bestselling REST API course on Udemy! I'm Jose. I'm a software engineer, here to help you truly understand and develop your skills in web and REST API development with Python, Flask, and Docker.
Production-ready REST APIs with Flask
This course will guide you in creating simple, intermediate, and advanced REST APIs including authentication, deployments, databases, and much more.
We'll start with a Python refresher that will take you from the very basics to some of the most advanced features of Python—that's all the Python you need to complete the course.
Using Flask and popular extensions Flask-Smorest, Flask-JWT-Extended, and Flask-SQLAlchemy we will dive right into developing complete, solid, production-ready REST APIs.
We will also look into essential technologies like Git and database migrations with Alembic.
You'll be able to...
Create resource-based, production-ready REST APIs using Python, Flask, and popular Flask extensions;
Handle secure user registration and authentication with Flask.
Using SQLAlchemy and Flask-SQLAlchemy to easily and efficiently store resources to a database; and
Understand the complex intricacies of deployments of Flask REST APIs.
Use Docker to simplify running and deploying your REST APIs.
But what is a REST API anyway?
A REST API is an application that accepts data from clients and returns data back. For example, a REST API could accept text data from the client, such as a username and password, and return whether that is a valid user in the database.
When developing REST APIs, our clients are usually web apps or mobile apps. That's in contrast to when we make websites, where the clients are usually the users themselves.
Together we'll develop a REST API that not only allows clients to authenticate but also to store and retrieve any data you want from a database. Learning this will help you develop any REST API that you need for your own projects!
I pride myself on providing excellent support and feedback to every single student. I am always available to guide you and answer your questions.
I'll see you on the inside. Take your first step towards REST API mastery!

The Python refresher is good, a detailed and well-explained section, but it is too long, the biggest section in the course, and it's not necessary for many. The rest of the course is rushed; there's a lot of really fast and small explanations about what should be the main content of the course, REST API and Flask. I felt the lack of theory about some things and why they are used. Docker is not something I wanted to learn here, as it is a huge topic. It took a considerable part of the course, since it is small, and the explanations about it are fast and shallow. I'd rather take a Docker course and focus on Flask here. Insomnia is used throughout the whole course, and yet the content about it is outdated, and there is little to no explanation about the tool. I'd prefer no Docker at all, a section about Insomina, if that's the course creator's choice, and focus on Flask and REST API. I also think that Git content here is not useful, the same thing with Docker. I'd rather take a course about it than lose time here. The relevant part of the course is about 4 hours, and it is rushed and hard to follow due to Docker and Insomnia being used all the time. I'm quite disappointed with the course.
