Welcome to the Free Full-stack Course
In this course, we will be using Python as the programming language for our backend to deliver REST APIs. The REST APIs will be developed on top of Django which is a backend/website framework that sits on top of Python. And we will also use DRF (Django REST Framework) to actually deliver our APIs on top of Django.
We will spend a lot of time learning Python in this course so it's essential that we install the "right" version of Python. And for that we will use PyEnv, which is a Python version manager.
After installing Python, we will also use Pip (Package Installer for Python) to manage our dependencies. Pip is similar to npm, which is the node package manager, if you're familiar with Node.js. Similar also to SPM (Swift Package Manager) or CocoaPods for iOS developers or Gradle for Android developers, or Cargo for Rust developers.
