I'm excited to have you joining us for this workshop - where we'll cover what makes a great RESTful API, while also looking at when you might choose a RESTful API vs an RPC, GraphQL, or even SOAP API.
There are no pre-requisites for this workshop. However, to get the most out of it, you can try some activities and read ahead. This includes:
- Downloading and reviewing a copy of Undisturbed REST - note free copy will be provided at workshop
- Exploring RAML and Swagger/ OAI
The workshop will be a combination of lecture and labs (both group and time for individual). To fully participate, you will need:
- A laptop (all activities will be done through the browser)
- A PHP installation (to try installing and modifying RAML2HTML for PHP)
Not required, but makes the workshop more fun, and probably a little bit more productive
- An installation of PostMan
- An idea for an API you'd want to build or make better
- A sense of humor (think Dad jokes)
