Nice video; finally someone that make an API video that does not talk only about web :) Feels like the new generation of developers after 2010 have no clue that API existed before internet was even a thing, and that the way in which you develop API for remote async systems is totally different from the methods used for library API running locally for example. Today is just REST/AWS/NODE; as if every single workplace would just work on web based applications; which while relevant for part of each company workload, is far from being the only thing every company work on.

Best explanation of API's i have seen so far after learning from lots of sources.

Can you post video on microservices components and data management patterns in microservices. Your teaching technique is awesome..

This is the best course on system design so far on youtube.. You have compiled it very well and the great thing is you just talk sense, "there is no-nonsense"

Thank you Yogita for this short but super informative explanation. I’m a recent follower but all your videos are extremely helpful for my interview prep for domain switch.
I’ve seen so many videos and tutorials for APIs but it used to become very confusing at some point of time. Loved this concise description.

HI Yogita
Very well training from your side. Much thanks & appreciation for the excellent work you are doing. Please do explain some practical use cases for SOAP & REST. And scenarios when not to use SOAP & when not to use REST

[lusedinho]

Sorry...I hope am not too late to ask this. Have you done a video on the API standards yet? I think it would be great to have one and maybe dive a bit deeper into how they are used? I for one would greatly appreciate that! Thank you so much for taking time to produce these very informative videos...I am learning a lot from your lessons. Thank you!
