ABOUT THIS COURSE
In this course, you will learn to use a package called Simple JWT to help implement JWT authentication in your Django RESTful projects. In the beginning, you will learn how to create custom users in Django using Django RESTful. Next, you will learn to register users using JWT and send them account verification emails. After that, you will learn how to make custom token claims when logging in users, and also how to refresh the tokens after expiry. You will then learn how to reset passwords and understand how password reset emails work. You will learn to organize your users in Django RESTful, log them out, and also black-list their JWT tokens. You will finish by learning how to manage and test your endpoints by documenting and testing them. After the completion of this course, you will be able to create custom users in Django RESTful framework, authenticate them using Simple JWT, programmatically send account verification and password reset emails.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
