Description

Are you tired of boring, outdated, incomplete, or incorrect tutorials? I say no more to copy-pasting code that you don’t understand.

Welcome to one of the best resources online on creating REST APIs. I’m Jose, and I’m a software engineer; here to help you truly understand and develop your skills in web and REST API development with Python.

Production-ready REST APIs

This course will guide you in creating simple, intermediate, and advanced REST APIs including authentication, deployments, caching, and much more.

We’ll start with a Python refresher that will take you from the very basics to some of the most advanced features of Python—for you to never be lost or confused.

Using Flask and popular extensions Flask-RESTful, Flask-JWT, and Flask-SQLAlchemy we will dive right into developing complete, solid, production-ready REST APIs.

We will also look into essential technologies Git, Heroku, nginx, and Varnish.

You’ll be able to…

• Create resource-based, production-ready REST APIs using Flask and popular extensions;
• Using SQLAlchemy to easily and efficiently store resources to a database; and
• Understand the complex intricacies of deployments and performance of REST APIs.

I pride myself in providing excellent support and feedback to every single student. I am always available to guide you personally, and answer questions for your benefit.
