I liked https://www.cdrf.co/ for exploring DRF.

You basically have either a property or a function with the name get_property for a certain number of things (queryset, serialiser, pagination class, etc.) in any case. I tend to recommend in our projects style guides that once you want to override the behaviour of a mixin, you don’t inherit from the mixin anymore.

The two biggest issues I came across with teams in DRF were people coupling the serialised directly to a single database model (i.e. using ModelSerializer everywhere, even when that didn’t make sense), and trying to put too much stuff into a single class based view or viewset.
