1. What is the Rest API ?

We begin by understanding the fundamental concepts of RESTful API architecture, comparing Django to Django Rest Framework (DRF), and exploring JSON formatting. We'll also discuss the latest trends in web development and guide you through the installation and project setup process.

2. What is Serialization?

Serialization is a crucial aspect of building APIs. Here, we'll dive deep into serialization, exploring its importance, discussing various models, and understanding serializers in Django Rest Framework. Additionally, we'll cover built-in serializers for efficiency.

3. Views and Routers

Next, we'll explore views and routers in DRF. We'll cover class-based views, their significance, and the built-in views provided by Django Rest Framework. Routers play a vital role in API routing, and we'll provide a comprehensive overview of how to utilize them effectively with DRF's API router.

4. HTTP Request Methods

Understanding HTTP request methods is essential for building robust APIs. We'll cover GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods, along with their practical applications. Additionally, we'll discuss HTTP response status codes and their significance in API development.

Overview of Course Project

During the course, we will learn to create and configure: models, serializers, URL addresses, and views. With this knowledge, we will collectively build a full-fledged server-side application.

When a user navigates to a link in a Django Rest Framework (DRF) application, the following steps can occur on the server side:

Request Addressing: Django processes the incoming request and determines which view should be called to handle the request. This typically happens through URL routing;
Invocation of the Relevant View: After identifying the necessary view, Django invokes it. In the case of a DRF application, this could be a view responsible for handling RESTful API requests;
Request Processing According to View Logic: The view processes the incoming request according to its own logic. For example, if it's a GET request to fetch data, it may query the database to retrieve the relevant records;
Results Serialization: After processing the request, results serialization takes place. This involves converting Python objects (or query results) into JSON or another format suitable for transmission over the network;
Response Formation: The response to the request is formed with the serialized data. This may include HTTP headers, status codes, and the data itself;
Sending the Response to the User: The generated response is sent back to the user over the network.

This process illustrates the general flow of handling a request in a DRF application on the server side.
