About This Course

This course walks through building an actual backend, not a toy example. You'll build data models, set up Django REST Framework to expose them as an API, add authentication, and connect it all to a frontend. If you're a JavaScript developer who's always wanted to understand the backend side, or you're new to Django entirely, this is built for you.

Requirements

  • Basic Python knowledge
  • Familiarity with how web requests work is helpful, not required
