This is an amazing course for beginners who want to learn how to build rest API using django rest Framework. I give this course 4 stars because I believe the instructor could have explained some concepts better. Sometimes he just does something without explaining the reason behind what he does; i need to go to chatGPT to explain it to me so i can make sure i fully understand why he did it. However, this was a great course.

I had been looking for a solid Django REST Framework course for a while, and Shubham has done a great job with this one. He explains each topic clearly and practically, starting from the basics. This course has helped me build a strong foundation, and I’m excited to keep learning as I progress.

This was my first encounter with Django Rest Framework and I am completely excited that I took the course. It is a truly beginner friendly course that has been really impactful to me. The only suggestion I have is to add one more video that could give learners an idea of some kind of project they could also try out. The course is a 5/5 for me. Great work.

I recently completed "Build REST APIs with Django REST Framework and Python" and found it to be an excellent resource. The tutorials are clear and follow the documentation closely, exploring various methods for building APIs. The standout feature for me was the emphasis on testing, with practical examples that are extremely useful for building robust APIs. The instructor provided test views, but I hope they can add more comprehensive tests for the entire project. Overall, I rate this course 4 out of 5 stars. It's well-structured and highly useful, though a bit more depth on advanced topics and additional tests would have been appreciated. Highly recommended for anyone serious about developing APIs with Django.

This course will help you become a freelancer. It will give you all of the basic knowledge that you require to become one. You will still have to learn a few things on your own. For example, the instructor did not cover how to setup images or run business logic on the back-end if it is required. A few plugins such as payment gateways and integration with social media websites is also not covered. However, he is one of the best teachers over here, in my opinion.

The excessive number of mistakes in the material can be very distracting and have a negative impact on our ability to comprehend the important concepts being presented. While the author claims that the errors are intentional and designed to help students learn how to identify and correct them, I believe that there are simply too many mistakes for this approach to be effective. As a result, the reader may struggle to fully engage with the material and may become frustrated with the high error rate.

when I start on the company, I didn't fully understand what are the functionality uses on DRF, I learn only by doing it but still didn't understand some basic usage of DRF. But when I apply to this course and little by little I understand now even the basic CRUD operation. Thank you so much for the lecture, I hope many people you will learn more. Godspeed

This is the best course ever. His explanations are very neat and leave no doubt about the topics. If you follow him properly, anyone can become a coder or developer. First I enrolled in a DSA Bootcamp course of him. Then I enrolled in a Web development course, and now to this course. He has an educational website where he has put the complete bundle for Python developers from zero to good and also other courses. For beginners or who want to start or develop a career in python development, I strongly recommend you to check the contents of his bundle and decide.

Great course, and thank you for dedicating your time and skills to creating it. As a side note, I think it would have been much better if a new project was started per concept, just to cement the knowledge of starting and managing a project structure, as well as keeping a project complexity to a minimum.
By Andy Mc on 6/14/2021
I have completed this course and totally enjoyed it. The presenter gives good background information and also presents the details very well.
