What you will learn

@ Phase 1 - Setup and initiate new Django and Django DRF application

Phase 1 - Design, Implement and iterate over a complex database schema

@ Phase 1 - Implement Routers Viewsets and Serializers to create API endpoints for client interactions

@ Phase 1 - Implement serializer customizations to customize data output

@ Phase 1 - Build unit and end-to-end tests to ensure the application works as intended

@ Phase 1 - Document the API endpoints to support frontend interactions

Description

Developing applications can be a fun and effective way of learning a language and framework. In this course, at phase 1, we start building and testing an eCommerce inventory RESTful API with DRF (Django Rest Framework).

This course is primarily designed for anyone looking for a learning journey building applications with the Django Rest Framework, developing, testing and documenting a RESTful API.

Currently, this course presents our first iteration of this course and phase 1 of the development process. This course will evolve and extend over time as we iterate on the content to maximise learning opportunities.

As presented in phase 1 of the course, we initiate the project and start building and testing the core functionality of the RESTful API application. In Phase 1, we learn the fundamentals of the Python Django Rest Framework, design a database, implement testing throughout the application and work towards building our first endpoints while also automatically documenting our efforts. By the end of phase 1, you will have learnt how to start a new Django DRF project and create routers, serializers and viewsets to enable clients to interact with your API. Throughout the development process, we learn how to test our application using Pytest and document our endpoints in preparation for front-end development using SwaggerUI.

We intend to extend the content of the course to eventually include deeper relevant content to aid further your understanding of the development process and techniques, deployment, and other associated technologies. Due to the scale of our courses we hope to bring to you our approach to building courses is a phased, iterative approach. Having time to reflect, analyse and seek feedback is essential to ensure that we develop courses that will ultimately meet the highest expectations.

I hope you enjoy the course.

the knowledge that the lecturer tries to convey is very useful. However, the lecturer must do a serious refactoring on the contents. Too many meaningless change back and forth which makes everything so confused!!!!, overlapping the video clips and even swearing in the middle of the lecture.

Most comprehensive and informative Django content on the web! I'd say this content is best for learners/developers who want to take these lessons and implement them into paid work. This will help you understand how to use the tools (Django) to build apps that users/people actually use.

-making unecessary deletion of migration files and sqlite database which is not advisable when working your project. - making unecessary changes in code in mid-coding, adding new function then he don't know why did he create a function then leave it for a while then it will tell you he change the code or remove the code while on not recording - cannot decide what kind of classes or syntax to be used, sometimes self muttering what or should be use for the function in mid coding -not using urls.py, why not use API class based view -changing code off-screen because "with some particular reason" -this tutorial video is mostly like to understand who has a deep background in DRF but if you are new to DRF never bought and watch this - adding new column in models while in the middle of the test and then delete again the migration file and db -chose the slug field instead of unique ID which is very unecessary and not usable in real world development -in product image test mode, he rename all the product line from 'productline' to 'product_line', delete migration file, debug from models, factories. instead why not stick to the 'productline' in the test, you waste the 5mins time just to stick to your 'consistency' naming

Overall the course was good. Would be better if you could explain new concepts in a more detailed manner for someone who is completely new to it

Zander (from Very Academy) is the best teacher. I do really enjoy the way he teaches the basics of development and especially python and django. I was always struggling with backend until I found his tutorials. You are amazing and I reaaly understand the hard topics very well with your explanation. Thank you for this solid/complete course

You know I have been working on django for at least for five years, and I always had problems with deploying I ran into all sorts of issues and could not solve them, and I was delighted to see that you were setting up The deployment in the settings app, you have also covered getting the requirements to work when I am Downloading in the code. I am only halfway through the course and I haven't finished it, The way you are instructed us on how to use django is excellent, thank you very much. So just one more thing, I don't know if you've done this deliberately, you go Straight in to the admin and you haven't made migration, students would get confused if the did not know django If they did not understand django.
