Course Description
In this course, you will learn the basic and advanced skills required to become an efficient backend Engineer using Flask. Real-world examples and concept explanations that relate directly to your day-to-day tasks as a backend engineer.
REST APIs: How They Work and What You Need to Know
To understand REST, we need to review some key terms first:
A client is a person or program using the API. The client makes requests to the API in order to retrieve some information or change something within the application. Your web browser is a client — it interacts with APIs. The requested info is sent back to your browser and displayed on your screen.
A resource is any piece of information that the API can provide the client. For instance, a resource in Facebook’s API could be a user, a page, a photo, or a post. Each resource has a unique name, called the resource identifier.
A server is used by the application that receives client requests and contains resources that the client wants. The server has an API to interact with clients without giving them direct access to content stored in its database.
Now for our definition. REST is a set of guidelines that software can use to communicate over the internet in order to make integrations simple and scalable. A REST API (also called a “RESTful” API) is a specific type of API that follows these guidelines.
You will learn
How Rest API works
API development and management for mobile apps i.e Android, Iso
API to power your React and Angular frontend Apps
CI/CD with Digital Ocean Apps platform
Constant updates and upgrades to new technologies as relates to Api development with flask
Learn how to secure your API using the JWT token
Logging for error detection and app insights
Together, we will develop a student management project which will encompass all the great topics covered in the course of the lectures
Goals
- Create secure and reliable enterprise-grade REST APIs
- Authentication and authorization using JSON web token (JWT) to prevent API abuse
- Connect web or mobile applications to databases and servers via REST APIs
- API data validation enforcement
- Flask migration for database version management
- API hosting on the Digital Ocean App platform with free SSL and domain
- CRUD operation on MySql
Prerequisites
- Some programming experience in any langugage would be great. Python refresher course incuded
