Why You Should Take This Class?

If Technology is eating up jobs, then APIs are the teeth. APIs are everywhere and understanding the concepts of API and how to build would always give you competitive advantage over others.

Future of development will be much more depended on APIs and if you are a developer or someone working in the technology domain, you need some working knowledge about APIs not just conceptual information but practical knowledge. And when you could build APIs and work with them, you could use your skills for a variety of roles in technology-based organizations. Be it Machine Learning or Data Science, Cloud services or mobile development, have developer skills over APIs could be a leverage. Moreover, this class is short and to the point that teaches with pragmatic approach.
