Building RESTful Python Web Services
Building RESTful Python Web Services
I'm not going to review this whole book right now. I am only interested in the first few chapters on setting up and building a Python Django application. Both at work and in my own personal projects, I am moving away from PHP, and towards Python.
This book is very good for a beginner. While some Python knowledge would be helpful, it is not necessary to enjoy and understand this book. While tradeoffs must be made when writing a book, I do think the author spends more time in showing examples of how to use the API, and less time in explaining how the various pieces work. I have been working on a API for logging data from my garden. (https://github.com/orionsconsulting/garden_data_django). While I have found the book easy to follow along with, and almost everything has worked, if you don't have a working knowledge of python, and django, you will have some trouble debugging your code to find out what is going on.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and I think you will too.
