What you should know
- [Instructor] Before getting started with React and Django REST framework here is what you should know. To work with Django and Django REST framework, you should know how to program basic programs with the Python programming language. The book, Learn Python the Hard Way, is an especially good book. You can watched a LinkedIn Learning course, Learning Python, too. If you know JavaScript already, Python is a bit different, but you should be able to pick it up with some help from these courses. When working with Django, you should know how to create models of use, how to launch the development server, how to set up URL configuration patterns. To work with Django REST framework, there is a LinkedIn course that you can watch, Building RESTful Web APIs with Django. It will show you how to build a REST API and how to how use Django REST frameworks, serializers, filters, and API views. To work with React, you will need to know some JavaScript. We are using ES6, which is one of the latest versions of the JavaScript language. You will want to check out the ECMAscript 6 LinkedIn Learning course and the React.js Essential Training course.
