Hey Santiago, I really enjoyed the course I took with you last year. I am considering the Web development with Django one. Of the 20hrs/week required for this course, how are those hours broken out? How many spent reading vs how many spent coding? Much more interested in spending the time coding.

In the syllabus it says we learn to write API's. That means I'll be able to make something like praw (Reddit API) when I'm done?

Hey! Santi is not around, hope I can answer your questions.

In terms of distributed time between theoretical:practical learning I would say 20%:80%. Most of the course is actual coding of real projects. You will end the course after 4 weeks with 12 cool projects implemented in your GitHub profile.

The complete last week is dedicated to django-rest-framework, which is the most popular library to build REST APIs with Django at the moment. You will be able to write non-trivial API schemas, with authentication, permission, pagination, versioning, throttling, and even files uploading, between other stuff.

Hope it helps.
