It had helped me to design and secure the API. Every developer pursuing career as API engineer/developer should take this course.

This course is not a baby course like other tutorials. It helped me understand the WHYS and how to structure an API Project.

This could be an amazing course, but it really needs someone to go through and edit the course material, it's full of mistakes. The final project has a number of places where the instructions don't match the grading requirements (e.g. spellings or different words in the api endpoints ... auth/ instead of api/ etc. Also in almost every quiz they have grammatical errors, poor language, and ambiguous questions and anwers that are kind of frustrating. It really just needs someone at Meta to go through and do an editing pass. I'll grudgingly give it a 4 star review because I think I learned a lot, but it probably deserves a 2 or a 3 because it's so poorly edited. The final project is where I leaned the most, but honestly that's because it forced me to go and read the documentation and find other sources of information outside the course.

This course was good but probably above my skill level. I managed to pass, but it took me longer than expected. One of my challenges was staying focused during the lecture. The monotone way of presenting made things "clear," but it also made it boring. I had to work extra hard to focus. I wish the course were more interactive or presented in a way that made it feel interactive. Overall, I give it 3.5 stars because it taught me what I needed to know. To be fair, I was punching above my weight, so it did reach its goal, but a little more interaction would have made it a lot more fun to learn.

While course materials were useful, they also contained many typos, and final project instructions were not always clear. At the same time, the course offered an opportunity to test one's skills by completing a restaurant API project using Django, Django REST Framework, Djoser, as well as Insomnia. To benefit from the course, lerners need to have a thorough grasp of Python syntax, main data structures and object-oriented architecture.

It is not the best course I have gone through. The final assignment is terribly structured that beginner coders will have a very hard time passing this course. But you will learn a lot if you manage to get it done, which is quite satisfying for those who look to learn deeper into API development using Django and Django REST Framework.

well structured course on api development, I learned a lot about creating apis while using best practices and discovered the cool library django rest framework that helps you create apis in no time.

This is a good course to learn the concept of APIs. The only drawback is that this course is a bit fast paced. The lab interaction could have been a little more. Overall this is a good course.

The content is perfect and the assignments also good, the only problem so far with meta courses that some of the solutions and questions are written wong, but overall a great experience.

The course itself is great, but I believe they should be more careful with the peer reviewed assignments and avoid causing any confusion between the participants.

The course would be better if the final project is delivered in a more organized way. At lease make the checked API endpoints be consistent.

The Final Project needs to be explained better because the instructions could come across as stressful and confusing for a beginner

It was a great course but an unexpected difficulty bump from the previous courses in the series.

It's a 4.5 star course in regards to the material, but this course had many typos and grading problems, hindering the efficiency of workflow sometimes. On one of the quizzes I got 7 out of 10 wrong and they all said to check a certain lesson, and I actually had them all correct, so the next pass through I selected the opposite of what I knew was the right answer and then passed.

The course offers valuable information and flows smoothly. However, I noticed some steps were missing in completing tasks while following the instructional videos. In such cases, I had to search on Google or YouTube to fill in the gaps and then return to the course.

I wish the projects were more thoroughly explained, the models in the final project had errors and they should have shown more sample of how the response were for different API calls, specially for orders.

A good way to tinker around with APIs but not leave with any mastery. The course is not well-thought out, unfortunately, considering the rest of the Meta courses have been fairly useful!

Exploitation of class structures, i.e. methods and attributes, should be detailed, it should have beon the backbone of this certificate but it was superficially handled.

The course was ok. I like it enough but the final project instructions need to be seriously improved. I don't mind difficult projects but I do mind unclear instructions
