Course Overview
Connect devices, front ends, other apps, and much more by creating your own REST API. Learn how in this course.
REST APIs Power the Internet
How does Apple Maps have Yelp listings?
How does Tinder get Facebook user profiles?
How does Amazon Alexa know the latest news?
These questions get to the core of how powerful REST APIs can be: it allows for websites to communicate with each other without any human interaction.
Building a REST API isn't just about connecting with third party services, it's also about:
- Adding Authentication, Registration, Databases, and more to your Mobile App, IOT Device, TV app, Car app, and more
- Connecting your own web apps with each other
- Creating micro-services
- Adding a backend for Angular, React, iOS Apps, Android apps, and more
- Simplifying the process of separating your backend from your frontend
- Making it easier to build additional services with new developers
This course will teach you step-by-step exactly how to build a REST API
We'll cover the concepts first, then we'll go into build a PURE DJANGO REST API, then we'll use the Django REST Framework to build a REST API.

Would have liked if it went through setting up and connecting to a front end. Would like to see ViewSets and Routers implemented even though it was mentioned that it is on the documentation. Should include how to optimize for performance, introduce how maybe introducing raw SQL queries, select_related or prefetch_related methods, caching, throttle and rate limiting. Overall it was a good and speedy course on how DRF works.

Bom curso, no entanto achei a primeira parte(Pure Django API) um pouco confusa, a partir da seção 4 (Django Rest Framework) ficou maus claro.
