What you'll learn:
- Connect web or mobile applications to databases and servers via REST APIs
- Create secure and reliable REST APIs which include authentication, deployments, and database migrations
- Understand the different layers of a web server and how web applications interact with each other
- Handle seamless user authentication with advanced features like token refresh
- Handle log-outs and prevent abuse in your REST APIs with JWT blacklisting
- Develop professional-grade REST APIs with expert instruction
- Optimize performance of your REST APIs using task queues and background workers
Are you tired of boring, outdated, incomplete, or incorrect tutorials? I say no more to copy-pasting code that you don’t understand.
Welcome to the bestselling RESTAPI course on Udemy! I'm Jose. I'm a software engineer, here to help you truly understand and develop your skills in web and RESTAPI development with Python, Flask, and Docker.
Production-ready RESTAPIs with Flask
This course will guide you in creating simple, intermediate, and advanced REST APIs including authentication, deployments, databases, and much more.
We'll start with a Python refresher that will take you from the very basics to some of the most advanced features of Python—that's all the Python you need to complete the course.
Using Flask and popular extensions Flask-Smorest, Flask-JWT-Extended, and Flask-SQLAlchemy we will dive right into developing complete, solid,production-ready RESTAPIs.
We will also look into essential technologies like Git and database migrations with Alembic.
You'll be able to...
Create resource-based, production-ready RESTAPIs using Python, Flask, and popular Flask extensions;
Handle secure user registration and authentication with Flask.
Using SQLAlchemy and Flask-SQLAlchemy to easily and efficiently store resources to a database; and
Understand the complex intricacies of deployments of Flask RESTAPIs.
Use Docker to simplify running and deploying your RESTAPIs.
But what is a RESTAPI anyway?
A RESTAPI is an application that accepts data from clients and returns data back. For example, a RESTAPI could accept text data from the client, such as a username and password, and return whether that is a valid user in the database.
When developing RESTAPIs, our clients are usually web apps or mobile apps. That's in contrast to when we make websites, where the clients are usually the users themselves.
Together we'll develop a RESTAPI that not only allows clients to authenticate but also to store and retrieve any data you want from a database. Learning this will help you develop any RESTAPI that you need for your own projects!
I pride myself on providing excellent support and feedback to every single student. I am always available to guide you and answer your questions.
I'll see you on the inside. Take your first step towards RESTAPI mastery!
