Ultimate Web API Development With Django REST Framework

TAGLINEBuild a Secure Recommendation System from Scratch Using Django Rest Framework.
KEY FEATURES ● Master Django REST Framework and Test-Driven Development.● Build scalable APIs through real-world projects like recommendation engines.● Secure, optimize, and deploy APIs for data science applications.
DESCRIPTIONMastering API development is crucial for building modern, scalable software solutions. Ultimate Web API Development with Django REST Framework is your comprehensive guide to achieving that mastery. This book will teach you how to create robust, secure, and efficient APIs using Django REST Framework and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
You’ll start by learning the essentials of building and testing APIs, followed by developing simple APIs with effective testing practices. The book then takes a deep dive into data science, helping you understand data models, processing, and handling asynchronous tasks for efficient data management. You’ll also learn techniques for securing and scaling APIs, ensuring your applications are prepared for real-world demands.
As you progress, you’ll master documenting, optimizing, and deploying APIs for production environments. By the end of the book, you’ll be equipped to create scalable, high-performance APIs that power data-driven applications, making you a valuable asset in any tech team. With practical examples and expert insights, this book will help you become a top-tier API developer and build robust, scalable APIs that excel in today’s fast-paced tech landscape.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN● Build secure, scalable APIs with Django REST Framework.● Master Test-Driven Development for efficient, reliable coding.● Create data-driven APIs through real-world projects like recommendation engines.● Implement advanced authentication, permissions, and security techniques.● Optimize and deploy production-ready APIs for data science applications.● Manage asynchronous tasks and large-scale data processing efficiently.
