APIs are transforming the business world at an increasing pace. Gain the
essential skills needed to quickly design, build, and deploy quality web
APIs that are robust, reliable, and resilient. Go from initial design
through prototyping and implementation to deployment of mission-critical
APIs for your organization. Test, secure, and deploy your API with
confidence and avoid the "release into production" panic. Tackle just
about any API challenge with more than a dozen open-source utilities and
common programming patterns you can apply right away.
Good API design means starting with the API-First principle -
understanding who is using the API and what they want to do with it -
and applying basic design skills to match customers' needs while solving
business-critical problems. Use the Sketch-Design-Build method to create
reliable and scalable web APIs quickly and easily without a lot of risk
to the day-to-day business operations. Create clear sequence diagrams,
accurate specifications, and machine-readable API descriptions all
reviewed, tested, and ready to turn into fully-functional NodeJS code.
Create reliable test collections with Postman and implement proper
identity and access control security with AuthO-without added cost or
risk to the company. Deploy all of this to Heroku using a continuous
delivery approach that pushes secure, well-tested code to your public
servers ready for use by both internal and external developers.
From design to code to test to deployment, unlock hidden business value
and release stable and scalable web APIs that meet customer needs and
solve important business problems in a consistent and reliable manner.
