Our Django coding course is for people already know to code in Python. This is a practice based developer course.

Django coding course description

Django is a framework based on Python. Its advantages over native Python include the high level of security already built in, excellent scalability and the ability to implement complex back-end functionality much faster than Python by taking advantage of the framework’s capabilities. This is why the system behind PBS or Instagram also uses Django. Django is also popular among IT companies because it helps them quickly develop complex systems.

The course consists of 2 parts:

In 2/3 of the course, we will learn the basic functionality, file structure and built-in features of the Django framework through a static, full stack – Database, Backend APIs and project task.

In the remaining time of the course we will learn the basics of using the Django Rest Framework to develop REST APIs.

The DRF is very popular in Python backend development because there are so many useful things that can be produced by it – serializers, routers, etc – that can speed up development significantly.
