Course Overview
Learn how to Build a REST API from scratch
API stands for Application Programming Interface.
An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you're requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you.
When we are building APIs, we want our models to provide four basic types of functionality. The model must be able to Create, Read, Update,and Delete resources.
In this course, we are going to build an API using the following technology:
Python
Django
Django Rest Framework
PostgreSQL
psycopg2
django-cors-headers

There was little to none coverage for postgres. DRF is based on models. There was no explanation on that part. No templates whatsoever. Also there is no step by step on building things. There's just a bunch of code pasted into empty files. Can be hugely improved.

This quickly got me to set up an api within my own project. It was well worth the money. I was able to skip a lot of the coursework having a running Django project but his examples were able to help me quickly copy code and get what I needed to be done. Great course.
