In this course, you will learn about APIs and RESTful APIs, and how they work.
There is no coding in this course.
By the end of this course, you will completely understand how APIs work, and how computers talk to each other. You will also be familiar with RESTful APIs.
You do not need to be a coder to understand APIs and how they work. I will be using a real life example of a restaurant to demonstrate how requests work.
The goal of this course is to help you understand APIs and RESTful APIs without needing to write any code. So next time someone says “API” you will know exactly what they are talking about (and you will also know it is not really that technical or fancy, but that will be our secret 😉
