Reviews
"When readers interested in web development ask me what to read next after Python Crash Course, I refer them to Will's books: Django for Beginners , Django for APIs , and Django for Professionals . I highly recommend you check out his work." —ERIC MATTHES, author of Python Crash Course
"If you’re looking for a guide into the world of Django, then the three-step of Django for Beginners , Django for APIs , and Django for Professionals is ideal: get up and running, get into APIs, which are a cornerstone of modern app development, and then add the bits you need to your fledging app into production, from databases and static files, to user accounts and security. It’s a long road. Will’s books are an awesome companion." —CARLTON GIBSON, Django Fellow and Django REST Framework core contributor
"Will's books are a fantastic resource for web development with Django and Python. I highly recommended them" —JEFF TRIPLETT, Python Software Foundation Director , DEFNA President , and REVSYS Partner
