API for beginners

Показать описание

Have you ever wondered how Facebook is able to automatically display your Instagram photos? How about how Evernote syncs notes between your computer and smartphone? If so, then it’s time to get excited!

During this 2 hour workshop, we'll walk you through what it takes to link different IT systems together thanks to this common tool called an Application Programming Interface (API).

We will start off easy, explaining the basics of (web) APIs: what they are, how they work, and why they matter.

this talk is simply exquisite especially for people coming in to listen with zero awareness or knowledge of APIs and that rearrangement of API to IPA was nothing short of eye opening

"I know people have those kind of jobs, still" haha. That was funny. I have just discovered API 2 days ago and your video is the only one so far that made sense, as I am looking to learn more and use it in my line of work. Thank you so so much!

I had this video saved here for ages. The content is so good well done. Should have watched long time ago

Hi Sebastian, great video and I found it very useful. The easy way in which you explain is very good. Great for non technical users like me who are not into programming actively.

Thank you for this video, Sebastien. A great explanation of how APIs work, understandable even by an absolute beginner. I particularly liked the photographs, which helped me relate all this virtual stuff to the real world. Well done!

This video, everyone should see - at least the example... Insane was a good word for describing it.

This is awesome! It was hard to find a video giving a proper real world example of APIs and how to code with it. Everyone was basically explaining what it was which was essentially the same, but these examples are great. (SnazzyMaps is pretty cool haha)
I personally had no problem with your accent (it's pretty nice lol), but I do think for those who aren't as exposed to it, @Le Wagon, you should include captions. If you allow for contributions, I can help add them.
