🎯 Project: DRF Tutorial
Complete the official Django REST Framework tutorial. You may find it easier going if you follow the guide by Will Vincent.
Will Vincent uses the exact same code and steps but is much more beginner-friendly. He also uses pipenv for the virtual environment like we do. Will’s tutorial stops short of the last step, step 6, in the official tutorial. If you finish step 5 and want to keep going, you can continue with the official tutorial, but this is not required.
You should complete the tutorial by tomorrow. This assignment link generates an empty repo that you can use to push your completed tutorial to.
⛔ Do not copy & paste the code. You’ll get a lot more out of the tutorial if you type it out yourself.
