Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are computer interfaces that stipulate how multiple software applications can communicate with one another. Companies are moving to create more APIs than ever and there is a huge push for "microservices" as well.

This workshop is a perfect gateway to gaining a fundamental understanding of APIs and how to leverage them. No matter what your background experience is, if you have an interest in either building or leveraging existing APIs this workshop would be a great way to further your experience.

Target Audience:

We strongly recommend that you are comfortable using the Python programming language and have had exposure to the following:

• Importing libraries
• Using variables
• Using methods
• Basic comprehension of how the internet works (http requests- GET vs. POST)

What You Will Learn:

• Understanding APIs at a high level
• What is an API?
• Who uses APIs?
• What can we use APIs for?
• Interacting with a real API

About Your Instructor:

Andrew Means

I'm passionate about solving problems. I've leveraged this passion to explore innovative solutions to uncover new areas of opportunity that were previously unknown.

My background in software development, data engineering, and data science lets me solve these problems creatively and from different angles. From recognizing pain points and collecting data about the issue to creating a developer tool that when integrated would save thousands of engineering hours on manual processes.

I am on a mission to create beautiful experiences using a synthesis of data science, creative feature engineering, and scalable design.
