On Thursday, November 3rd, Hyperpublic's head of engineering, Doug Petkanics, will be teaching a Skillshare class called "APIs For Beginners." The class will start with the basics, and will cover the following:
- What is an API?
- What type of data and services do companies make available via APIs?
- Why would I use APIs?
- How do I use APIs?
There is no prior programming experience required, but as APIs are quite literally "programming interfaces", you will have to do some light programming in order to make use of the data you get through the APIs.
We'll talk about APIs from companies like Flickr, Paypal, Google, and Twitter. You'll learn how to get data from them and what you can do with their services. If you're interested in getting started with building web applications, then this class will provide a good introduction to the types of data and services you can leverage to speed up your development and enhance your applications.
Limited tickets are still available so sign up today. All proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to HackNY.
