Fundamentals of APIs
Details
Join Hacks/Hackers DC for a hands-on workshop on the fundamentals of APIs. Rachel Shorey, software developer at the Sunlight Foundation, will lead the session and guide the group in understanding how APIs work, types of tools and resources that are available, and how journalists can leverage them to help improve their work.
Afterwards, join the community for networking and drinks at Irish Whiskey. Please be advised, we can only fit 30 people at Sunlight so only RSVP if you are sure you can make it.
