Simplify Your API with Django and Python

REST APIs are hard to do right, but with the increasing popularity of mobile and single-page applications, they’re becoming an expected feature. In this presentation we will build a beautiful, simple API with Django and the Django Rest Framework in real-time. Included in the presentation is:

– A whirlwind tour of Django and some of its relevant features, like url routing, automatic database migrations, and object relational mapping
– Token-based authentication
– Simple CRUD operations on tables
– More complex operations including the PUT and PATCH verbs and custom endpoints
– Endpoint and object-based permissions
– Automatic Swagger & OpenAPI integration

I hope after this presentation the next time you need to create an API you’ll consider Django!
