REST APIs Power the Internet

How does Apple Maps have Yelp listings?

How does Tinder get Facebook user profiles?

How does Amazon Alexa know the latest news?

These questions get to the core of how powerful REST APIs can be: it allows for websites to communicate with each other without any human interaction.

Building a REST API isn't just about connecting with third party services, it's also about:

  • Adding a backend for Angular, React, iOS Apps, Android apps, and more

Overall it was a good and speedy course on how DRF works.

A very old version of Django and Django Rest Framework, a lot of functionality has been changed or added. Therefore, this course is not relevant for 2023
