The document outlines a Django online training course focused on developing and exposing RESTful APIs using Django and the Django REST framework. It is aimed at developers with basic Python knowledge and includes topics like API construction, authentication, testing, and deployment. The course features hands-on exercises and a final project to facilitate practical learning.

4. What is Django?
• Definition: Django is a high-level Python web framework
that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic
design.
Key Features
• MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure
• Built-in admin interface
• ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system
• Middleware support

5. Understanding RESTful APIs
What is REST?
• Representational State Transfer (REST) is an
architectural style for creating scalable web services.
• Based on HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
Why Use REST with Django?
• Seamless integration with Django’s ORM
• Allows for a standardized, decoupled architecture

6. Setting Up
DjangoREST Framework (DRF)
• Installing Django and DRF
Commands: pip install django and pip install djangorestframework
• Setting Up a Django Project
django-admin startproject projectname
• Adding DRF to Django Project
Update INSTALLED_APPS with 'rest_framework'

7. Building Your First APIEndpoint
• Define the Model : Create Django models to represent data.
Create a Serializer:
• Purpose: Convert Django model instances to JSON format and vice
versa.
• Example: from rest_framework import serializers
Define Views and URL Patterns:
• Use Django views to handle API requests
• Set up URL routing for API endpoint

8. API Authentication & Permissions
• Types of Authentication in DRF:
⚬ Basic, Token, and Session Authentication
• Permissions:
⚬ Configure who can access which resources
⚬ Use built-in permissions (IsAuthenticated,
IsAdminUser) or custom permissions

9. Advanced API Features
• Pagination: Limit the number of items returned in API
responses
• Filtering: Retrieve specific data based on parameters
• Versioning: Enable version control for APIs to support
backward compatibility

10. Testing Your APIs
• Why Testing is Important
⚬ Ensures reliability and prevents regressions.
• Tools for Testing
⚬ Django’s built-in testing framework
⚬ DRF test utilities and tools like Postman for API testing

11. Deploying Django REST APIs
• Hosting Options: Deploy APIs on platforms like Heroku,
DigitalOcean, or AWS.
• Configuring for Production:
⚬ Secure settings, database configurations, and static files
management.
• Containerization: Use Docker for consistent deployment
across environments.

12. Project and Hands-On Exercises
• Final Project: Develop a small application with multiple
endpoints, CRUD operations, and authentication.
• Hands-On Exercises:
⚬ Creating serializers and views
⚬ Adding custom permissions
⚬ Integrating with a front-end application (optional)
