Welcome to our Advanced REST API Course!

Database migrations

Easy ways of writing documentation and testing your API

Handle payments using Stripe

Extensive software development knowledge, refactoring, debugging, and more!

Use the latest technologies and the best practices. We teach everything using Python 3.7, the latest version.

Course structure

We introduce new features and technologies by baking them into this application so you can see how a professional REST API is developed. Every new feature is added to a fully working application and tested!

We’ll also help you understand more about how to build features incrementally to get them to your users quickly and minimise risk!

Extra resources

We’re always available to help in the Udemy Course Q&A and also our own student community Slack channel. Make use of these awesome resources!

Advanced course

Remember, this is our most advanced course yet! You should have enough programming experience with Python or another programming language. Some knowledge of how the web works is also really helpful.

You should have knowledge of how to install Python packages and how to run your Python applications. If you’ve used virtualenv or Pipenv before, that’s excellent! Knowledge of PyCharm for debugging is also a plus, although we will cover using the debugger in the course!
