Advanced Django: Advanced Django Rest Framework (Coursera)

Offered by Codio,
Advanced Django: Advanced Django Rest Framework (Coursera)

Code and run Django websites without installing anything! This course is designed for learners who are familiar with Python and basic Django skills (similar to those covered in the Django for Everybody specialization). The modules in this course cover testing, performance considerations such as caching and throttling, use of 3rd party libraries, and integrating frontends within the context of the Django REST framework.

To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You’ll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to slowly building features, resulting in large coding projects at the end of the course.
Course Learning Objectives:

  • Write and run tests on Django applications
  • Optimize code performance using caching, throttling, and filtering
  • Use a 3rd Party library
  • Integrate with common Frontends
