Participate in Open Source Programs like GSOC(Google Summer Of Code) ,Digital Ocean Hacktoberfest, MLH Fellowship , GSSOC(I was part of it) and many more.

There couldn't be a better start for your open-source journey than HacktoberFest. It's an annual open-source event where project maintainers await your contributions, and they prepare their projects to accept new contributors.

✔️ 1 month long-October ✔️ Open to all ✔️ Swags ✔️ You can do it! Get more info 👉 [https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/]

I would start at First Timers Only and see what they have that you can do. Every October there is Hacktober, and they have a good page for getting started in Open Source.

Just off the top of my head, hacktoberfest is a thing every October that lists how and where to get into open source. https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/

Snek Me and about 70 new programmers made this for Hacktoberfest. You should think about doing Hacktoberfest in October. They'll send you some free stickers and a T-Shirt and it will look good on your resume.

It's late fall 2020 and Hacktoberfest came along. I looked at the website and something caught my attention.

Hacktoberfest is a month-long event happening every October, in which we have to make four or more valid pull requests to public Github repositories. When we accomplish that, we will be eligible to get a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt or we can choose to donate a tree.

While in college, I had heard about this amazing month long celebration for open-source called hacktoberfest where if you make a certain number of contributions to any open-source repository(ies) and your changes are accepted (via pull-requests), you could get swags like T-shirts, stickers and other things. This was interesting for me as:

The upcoming blogs will focus on Open Source Guide, Open Source Education and my experience participating in the Hacktoberfest 2020 Challenge. Meanwhile you can learn how to Get Started with contributing to Open Source Projects.

- Django Rest Framework has no async support? https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/7260

A URL shortener is a service that transforms long and complex URLs into short, easily memorable ones. This tutorial guides you through creating a URL shortener using Django REST framework and Postgres, deploying it on Koyeb.

Now, I'm converting this app into a Vue-based SPA (still powered by Django). I'm using the Django REST Framework to build the API that the SPA will interact with. (I'll be using token-based auth, via django-rest-knox. ETA: I'll actually be using djangorestframework-simplejwt.)

For the backend, we chose Python, Django Rest Framework. On the frontend, React, Redux, Saga, Sass. Let’s start with the backend, which was managed by Yegor. He writes about the server part of the project himself.

With regard to JSON API aspects of Django, have you used https://www.django-rest-framework.org/ ? I find it to be very satisfactory.

django-rest-framework and the Fetch API, or

Django REST Framework (DRF) Django REST Framework is a famous, powerful, and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs in Django. It provides a set of reusable components and tools to simplify API development, including serialization, authentication, permissions, and view sets.

I wish Django would take async more seriously. This comment gives a pretty good overview of the current situation (some points are more valid than others): https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/discussions/...

The Python ecosystem is strange. Where other dev communities will embrace new ways of doing things faster than most people can keep up — the Python community needs to be pulled kicking and screaming into the light once ever decade or so. Python 2 to 3, ~10 years.

async/await has been in Python since 2015, it feels like it's going to be another 5 years before we see people taking async seriously in the big packages. Same problem we had during the 2/3 transition. No library support, no developer support.

Thanks for helping Steve to complete his REST API, he is now partying🥳. You can get more information on how to use the Django REST framework to best way read the documentation. There are many alternatives to the Django REST framework, you can give them a try if you want,

[Django Rest Framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) has the very nice idea of a [ViewSet](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/viewsets/#modelviewset) that allows really minimal code to perform all the basic CRUD actions on a model.
