Description

Consuming and building REST APIs is one of the most transferable skills in software development, and this course covers both sides of the contract. You'll learn REST design guidelines and practices, how REST and HTTP are tightly coupled, and how REST operations parallel database CRUD — then put that knowledge to work by evaluating and integrating public APIs to populate application clients.

From there it gets hands-on: designing your own RESTful API, developing an application server with nodeJS, and coding, testing, and serving a custom API using the Cloud 9 online IDE, with Postman for testing endpoints. The course suits developers working in any language, framework, or library, as well as architects, testers, and product managers who need to understand how APIs are structured, delivered, and consumed.

No REST experience is required. A modest knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, and web server use and configuration is ideal — familiarity with creating nodeJS servers helps — but gaps can be filled with a quick pause and some extra research along the way. Finish it and you'll be comfortable on either end of an API.

Requirements

Before taking this course a student should ideally (but not absolutely) have:
A at least a modest knowledge of HTML web server use and configuration and JavaScript. Ideally the student should be familiar with creating servers with nodeJS.
