Advanced Django: Mastering Django and Django Rest Framework

Offered By: Codio via Coursera

Course Description

Overview

This specialization is intended for people who are interested in taking their web development with Django to the next level. It is assumed that learners have are familiar with Python and have taken the Django for Everybody specialization, or have equivalent experience with Django basics. In these four courses, you will cover everything from the architecting of large web development projects, to the Django REST framework, to task queuing. These topics will prepare you to create advanced websites that integrate with popular APIs and popular JavaScript frameworks, giving you enough understanding of Django to tackle more specialized projects.

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 a review of core Django concepts, advanced projects setups, class-based views, and other advanced topics such as proxy models, loggin, caching, and query optimization. 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: Initialize Django Advanced Project Setup and explain the benefits in terms of integration and security Describe different Class-Based Views and their use cases Diagnose and optimize code performance using logging, caching, and query optimization
