This course contains a lot of information. Unfortunately, it was not organized like the previous Django course in this specification. I had to search and learn from other resources because the videos were short and lacked written details, especially when it came to the code. The lab instructions had a poor format and contained mistakes. Additionally, the final project had incorrect instructions and was missing many important details. To make matters worse, the instructor stopped providing a sandbox from the last lab to the final project, which made it even more inconvenient for students. Overall, the course material is good, but the organization of the course needs improvement.

While the content was extremely important for the role of a backend developer, the instruction felt lacking and did not culminate well in the final project. In order the complete the final project, students basically need to teach themselves all of the skills from other resources.

Maybe it's just me but...this course was not well designed at all! And definitely not enough to tackle the final project. It went from 0 - 100 faster than a Tesla model S plaid... Definitely not for beginners with no background and only the prior courses and some videos to rely on. Either the final assignment needs to be shorter with somewhat of a guiding hand (Somewhat like the previous courses in the Backend developer program) or there should be a prior lab to tackle many if not most of the requirements so that learners at least have some semblance of a structure rather than just some videos that rammed through many aspects. Not to mention they concentrated on functions based views when the way to go would have been class based. I know there were some readings about it but if there's a reason why people like the idea of an instructor talking to them instead of reading a book. Oh and whatever happened to the sandbox? Just trying to set this up on my local machine took forever with various errors thrown my way. Maybe my computer is old but heck that's why I thought the labs were a great idea where we could get right to the main coding bit without having to deal with the various external factors of local machines. Sorry for the rant but the course structure and the final project was extremely frustrating for a total beginner.

The most superficial and poor explained course in the series. I had to buy additional book on DRF (and this is not from zero knowledge about APIs but with experience in Flask and FastAPI).
