Overview

Uplatz provides this comprehensive course on API (Application Programming Interface) Design & Development with RAML. It is a self-paced video course. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

The creation of a robust core architecture results in a long-lasting API. A developer must employ best practices and the appropriate tools to attain this aim. This course will teach you how to develop reusable API web services as well as how to determine the maturity level of an API. Following that, you'll look at the Swagger tools, which include the API editor, API code and client generation, REST API documentation tool, and REST API testing tool. Finally, you'll learn about REST API design approaches and tools like Swagger, OpenAPI, and YAML.

Too many APIs are created on a case-by-case basis. Designing RESTful Web APIs using RAML is a course that will help you design your API to match your requirements before you start implementing it. To begin, you'll look at the design philosophy for building an API on top of REST that isn't dogmatic. Following that, you'll learn how to develop APIs that take into consideration URIs, verbs, message contents, versioning, and security. Finally, instead of expanding your proof of concept into a supported API that you can't get rid of, you'll look at how establishing an API can survive the test of time. You will have a thorough grasp and knowledge of how to create usable APIs for your project at the conclusion of this course.

This API course will teach you how to develop APIs in preparation for your next API-related project. Following a step-by-step method will ensure that you can employ the design principles with ease. In this API course, you'll be able to utilize the design concepts discussed in the course right away. Designing and creating APIs will be second nature to you. You're searching for in-depth knowledge of RESTful API design concepts and how to apply them. You actually want to know if you should build APIs rather than implement them directly. This hands-on course will assist you in addressing all of these questions and gaining skill in any programming language utilizing API design principles and techniques.

Restful API or Representational State Transfer is an architectural style programming that believes in rendering HTML as it was initially intended. Developers can perform HTTP requests and receive responses using GET requests and POST requests and can be used by just about every programming language. Requests made to a site's URI comes back in HTML, JSON, or some other data format. They're simple to test because the client and server are independent of each other. The architecture provides a variety of web services by increasing interoperability between programs. Using stateless protocols, you can achieve faster performance with fewer obstacles than other web services with arbitrary protocols. There's plenty of API documentation, and restful web services provide excellent compatibility.

Learning stateless programming for frontend and backend development to encourage ease of maintenance ease in web applications. HTTP methods of development have been around for so long that it's practically a foundational skill. They're compatible with just about anything and deploy faster than some other architectures. They provide a uniform interface and excellent, user-friendly sites. It's essential to learn this important architecture because so much of the internet requires it.

Understanding different server architectures prepares you to problem solve and innovate within the developer space. You can create layered systems that serve your clients and create an excellent user experience. You can reuse components and grow easily. Restful API is an excellent complement to the programming languages you know without having to learn new ones. It works with everything from Python to JavaScript, allowing you to get started quickly. Add Rest architectural style to your portfolio and help your employers find you.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
