DRF-for-Windows-11

Welcome to DRF-for-Windows-11, a Django REST Framework tutorial tailored specifically for developers using Windows 10 or 11. If you've ever felt left out in the sea of Unix-based tutorials, this one's for you. 🖥️

Why This Tutorial Exists

If you've searched for Django REST Framework (DRF) tutorials, you've probably noticed a trend:

• "Open your terminal and run ./manage.py..."
• "Use bash or zsh to set up your environment..."
• "Install tools that are only available on Linux or macOS..."

Well, what about Windows users? 😤

This project is here to bridge that gap. It's a complete guide to setting up and running a DRF project on Windows 10 and 11. No need to feel like an outsider anymore—we've got you covered.

What's Included

• Step-by-step setup instructions using PowerShell.
• Windows-specific configurations (because env\Scripts\activate is a thing).
• A fully functional DRF app to get you started.

Features

• API Root and User List: Quickly get up and running with DRF's browsable API.
• Windows-Friendly Commands: All commands and configurations tested and verified for Windows.
• Beginner-Friendly: Even if you're new to Django or REST APIs, you'll feel right at home.

Who Is This For?

• Windows Users: Specifically those running Windows 10 or 11.
• Django Beginners: If you're starting your DRF journey, this is a great place to begin.
• Devs Who Want to Learn DRF: Without switching to Linux or macOS.
