Tim, I never comment on youtube videos but the quality of your Django tutorial was insane. I've watched several hours of Django Rest Framework tutorials but none of them have explained Django Rest Framework as well as you did in 20minutes. I hope you eventually create a proper full length tutorial on this in the future. I will be the first to watch! Thank you for this tutorial!

[tvjivnh]

I don't usually comment but I am so grateful for these tutorials. A year ago I learned Django from your Django tutorial video and was able to make a geoguessr clone and deploy it. Now I'm learning how to make an API and of course I came back to your excellent videos. Thanks so much Tim.

Great! just looking for this kind of material... hope you could continue the series covering the rest of features that rest framework offers!

Hi Tim, just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. After struggling some days with a bunch of tutorials, even paid ones, I found this jewel of a concise, short, straight forward explanation about building a Django Rest API. Thanks again.

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Love the way you explain things! Very easy to understand. Great video.

Your "9 HOURS of Python Projects" video is gluing all the essential concepts/fundamentals of Python for me. I hope to see more real-world applications built with Python shortly!
😄

man thanks for the tutorial, im learning Django DRF, full beginner but your tutorial is being really helpful

[alimihakeem]

I love the way you explained the concept in details. Thanks Tim. ❤

[sadiqkhawaja]

Hi Tim, great video as usual, I was hoping if you could make a video on how to deal with opensource projects, I find it very difficult to go through them, going through a repo can be quite tough.

[DEVOPSJUNCTION-ptsc]

Thanks Tim for this, you are stright to the point. Good job.... You made my a better developer.

[dijei_fullfine]

Hey Tim, I love your videos, the last one about algorithms and data structures is so inspiring. But talking about python and web proyects, it would be really cool if you can show how to deploy a serverless web server and how to deal with cache in backend and frontend

[berganauta]

Tks Tim, but i cant get the deploy because the acorn's site just send the 1016 Error and don't let me to do the login, do u know how to fix it ?

[marcosalazar]

Hi Tim, i have troubles following the last steps, because i cant make an acorn account.

[ajaykotiyal]

Thanks for sharing such informative videos. Very well explained in short time.

[murshid]

Please can you do a complete small project which uses all the DRF methods

[Ammar-mclp]

hey @Tech with tim it seems like acorn for containerization and orchestration tools is dead now.
can you make tutorial for kubernetes or other tool for this purpose instead?

[bikotracks]

hi tim, something really off-topic, what keyboard do you use? sounds really appropiate for a programmer. nothing to mention on the tutorial except the best.

[jthepj]

Hey Tim, could this be used to say, post image data to a CNN and receive Output as JSON data?
