Resources to learn Django Rest Framework

Using Django
1

I want to learn django rest framework but I am looking for a step by step guide to learn it. I have tried youtube videos & book such as Two Scoops of Django 1.11 but I am finding it difficult to follow. I now plan to go through tutorial on https://www.django-rest-framework.org/tutorial/quickstart/.

Please could you recommend any source or book that covers step by step guide? Thank you

In addition to the quickstart, there’s also a full tutorial to help you get off the ground and running.

I’ve read Will’s Django books on beginner and pro. Both excellent and helped me enormously. I’ve recently purchased his API book, and so far, pretty impressive.

I like the way he writes, and I don’t think in all honesty I would have got very far from just reading the Django documentation, which is hard-core, and intimidating for a noob.

I appreciate the Django documentation, glad they’ve covered all the bases, but it’s vast, and you often end up down areas you wish you hadn’t gone down – yet.
