This is the first public course and workshop in Sweden for learning APIOps Cycles (https://www.apiopscycles.com), the lean and business-oriented method that has gained interest in NordicAPIs and APIdays conferences. Now we are proud to host the course together with the APIOps Certified partner - Ferrologic AB, at their offices in the center of Stockholm.

You'll be able to involve many different professions to API design and development, and learn useful quick methods and tips on how to involve your customers, partners, developers and business into making exactly the APIs you need.

Marjukka Niinioja, APItalista, has visited NordicAPIs Platform Summit in Stockholm as a speaker and attendee, and coauthored the API Economy 101 book. She is also one of the original developers of the method and has been consulting and teaching it for the last 2 years for organizations big and small.

We'll learn the method hands on by ideating some services together starting from the business and customer need and going forward to architecture requirements and interface design.

This course is for technical product managers, Agile product owners, architects, software developers, project managers and people in the middle of business & IT.

The course teaches best practices for collaborating and fast-tracking API development and architecture while ensuring the right decisions for the business, profit and developer experience are made.

Course topics:

• Great APIs are made by skilled people using good methods, introduction to APIOps Cycles
• API Business models
• What really are RESTful APIs? And what others are there?
• Understanding business requirements for APIs
• Business Impact Analysis
• API specifications and definitions (OpenAPI 3.0, JSON, JSON Schema, GraphQL, Postman collections)
• Interaction analysis for APIs
• API Interface design
• API management as a process and tools

Methods:

We'll co-design some new customer-facing services and design the APIs for them. You'll have to be prepared also for some serious role play, where we jump into other professionals shoes and see what life is when using the method, or when we don't.

You don't need coding skills to participate, but basic knowledge of what APIs are is useful.

All active participants joining in for the full day will earn a badge and certficate for "100 API Foundation" and "102 API Developer". You can add these certifications to LinkedIn or use them in the APIOps Cycles partner program organizations.
