API (München) - Falk Sippach - German
Learn not only to design APIs securely and efficiently, but also to use them strategically to make companies more scalable, value-adding and future-proof.
In this training course, you will learn to understand APIs as an essential component of modern software architectures and digital business models. We look at APIs not only as technical interfaces, but also as drivers of digital transformation and value creation. You will learn how APIs support business processes within and between companies and can even be marketed as stand-alone products.
In addition to the technological basics, we look at different API styles, their areas of application and the key design principles. We go beyond purely technical API design and also look at strategic aspects. Description languages such as OpenAPI and AsyncAPI play a central role, especially in the entire API lifecycle. After the training, you will know which technical and organizational measures are necessary to successfully use APIs in companies.
