Design and Build Your API
Every product needs a good API, but what's a "good" API and how do you make one? We'll kick off by inspecting some existing APIs and looking at their structure, purpose and delivery. We'll move on and look at the technologies behind web services, the difference between RPC and REST, and so on. Once you've seen enough theory, we will jump right in and start to design our own API ... and then we'll build it! Bring your laptops and API ideas, and let's begin. I'm a PHP specialist but APIs are all about interoperability so we'll talk about the exchange of data over HTTP in general, and you can build in whatever technology suits you best.
What you'll learn:
- Overview of API types
- In-depth study of HTTP features
- XML and JSON
- Consuming and debugging existing APIs
- Design pointers for a great API
