Get started with Django, a Python web framework for back-end development. You'll explore URL dispatchers, querying models, and automating tasks along the way.
Once you've built a solid grasp of Django fundamentals, the course moves into Django REST framework, a toolkit for building web APIs, where you'll cover working with images, authentication, and API endpoints.
What You Will Learn
- Automate tasks with Python and Django
- Interact with APIs using REST
- Deploy projects to GitHub using Git
