*** UPDATE: We have 80% of the Backend/API Complete. We are now shifting focus to building the client side using Angular 2 + TypeScript + Ionic2. There will still be Django development in this series as we flip back and forth through the stack. *** This tutorial will cover everything from A to Z of building the backend of an Instagram like app. We will start with setting up the environment using Vagrant, Python, Postgres, and Django while I help explain best practices for rapidly prototyping an API centric application. From there we will install the required Django plugins (such as Django Rest Framework), build the views and serializes, and handle user authentication. The next component will be dealing with image uploading, applying filters, and saving the data to a CDN capable location (S3). We’ll wrap up the project by creating all the other API endpoints such as getting profile info, liking, commenting, and following. I hope this django tutorial series gives you a great idea of the many complexities that exist when building applications. Django boilerplate can be found here: https://github.com/tsavecodes/djawesome
