Course description

How does Apple Maps have Yelp listings? How does Tinder get Facebook user profiles? How does Amazon Alexa know the latest news? These questions get to the core of how powerful REST APIs can be: it allows for websites to communicate with each other without any human interaction.

Read more about the course

Building a REST API isn't just about connecting with third party services, it's also about:

  • Adding Authentication, Registration, Databases, and more to your Mobile App, IOT Device, TV app, Car app, and more
  • Connecting your own web apps with each other
  • Creating micro-services
  • Adding a backend for Angular, React, iOS Apps, Android apps, and more
  • Simplifying the process of separating your backend from your frontend
  • Making it easier to build additional services with new developers
