About this course
This course develops practical capability in API Architecture. Its course-specific content covers Interface design, Contracts, Security and operations, API project, followed by an applied project focused on design consistent apis for consumers and service owners. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with API Architecture or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Working knowledge of software architecture & engineering and practical familiarity with the named platform or subject. Review the course topics before enrolment to confirm the lab starting point.
Design consistent APIs for consumers and service owners
Deliver design consistent apis for consumers and service owners. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
