“Halfway through the course, and I am content so far. He’s taking his time to patiently explain the various concepts as we go through the course. So far, he’s pretty clear in his explanations and what we are covering.”— Jack Jarvis

“A lot of this course I knew, but the document was what put it into perspective. Very good course or Review for anyone. I highly recommend this… “— Lawrence Thurman

“A very comfortable course with a summary to revise the concepts. a must for the designer/developer to write the specifications before writing code. Learned a lot.” — Samuel Wong.

“I like how carefully the author has chosen the text.” — Riccardo Gamberini.

“Very methodically explained each topic step-by-step with full details. I am enjoying the course.”— Suraj Kumar.

“Simplicity explaining. Easy to understand. Recommend this course”—Wanlop Sinthupakom.

“A nice course that explains the principles of Restful Design without boring or further ado. It may be even shorter, but it is possible to easily skip the places you find unnecessarily long and just read the slides and still understand the content of the lecture from the slides.” — Ahmet Karahan

Mar-2021: Initial version

A well-designed API will be your best friend. On the other hand, a lousy API will lead to recurring problems that require continuous updates and support. Hence, it would be best if you designed the API well before implementing or sharing it with other stakeholders.

The usage ofAPIhas dramatically increased in recent times, especially for cloud-native applications. Microservices have become mainstream that exposes their services through API endpoints. You will learn how to design an API from the requirements through a step-by-step approach.I’ve also included the companion sheets you can use whenever you need to create an API at your work.
