Requirements:
This course is NOT for absolute beginners.
This course is targeted at Python Developers with at least 1 year of web development experience or more
It’s preferable that you use a computer with any LINUX based operating system or MacOS. If not possible, a windows machine will also work, but I have not tested the course material with a windows machine
You should be familiar with the basic concepts surrounding shell scripts, Docker,API’s and Django.

Description:
Hi, welcome to this course on building a production ready, detailed Django REST API, running on a web server powered by NGINX, on a custom domain name and served securely over HTTPS with SSL Certificates from Letsencrypt.This course is NOT for absolute beginners.We shall achieve our goal by leveraging tools such as Docker, Celery, Redis, Flower, Nginx, Nginx Proxy manager, Portainer, shell scripts and more.This course is targeted at those with AT LEAST 6 months of web development experience, but  more is better. Before beginning, you should have some familiarity with the following concepts, in as much as I will try to explain everything.The concepts we shall cover include:Docker and running multiple containers2 Securing a Django REST API with HTTPS using SSL CertificatesREST APIs with Django and Django Rest FrameworkClass Based Views.Shell Scripting.Asynchronous tasks with Celery and RedisAsynchronous tasks monitoring with FlowerIntroduction to API testing with Pytest using factories and fixtures. Token based authenticationWorking with email in development with Mailhog and in production with MailgunPython Test coverageServing static and media files with NGINX and whitenoiseMakefiles and how they make working with Docker easier.All this shall be covered step by step, so that you can leverage the skills you learn in this course to build even bigger and better applications at scale.My Hope is that you shall gain immense value from this.

Who this course is for:
Intermediate Python Developers curious about how to use Django REST Framework with shell scripts, Docker, Docker, Celery, Redis, Rabbitmq, Flower and Nginx. You will learn everything you need to know to combine these technologies in a production build by leveraging other tools such as Portainer, NGINX Proxy manager among others
Intermediate Python Developers with at least 1 year of experience, more is better
