Course details

Regardless of platform, you will need to build APIs to serve data between different client applications and endpoints. Good APIs are a necessity for web and mobile projects, especially with the modern, mobile-first approach to development. This course delivers the fundamental knowledge required to enable highly connected interactions between applications via RESTful APIs. Follow along with Bruce Van Horn and learn how to quickly build, secure, and test an effective RESTful API using Python and Flask, the Python microframework. Find out how to use Flask with Python to approach database access, authentication, and other common tasks. Plus, learn about a few key plugins that make using Flask even easier.

    This has been the best course I have found for people who are beginner-to-intermediate in Python but are new to building APIs. The instructions are clear and well-paced, and the material is highly scalable. The only issue is that if you are using PyCharm community edition, you will have to jump through some extra hoops if you want to fully emulate the instructor's use of Flask env. Otherwise, an awesome resource for learning the basics of APIs and web application support in general.

    When it comes for new libraries and plugins being used in the course a detailed explanation on why you do what you do for them would be helpful
