Introduction to APIs

!!! IMPORTANT !!! -------------------------

The venue for this event is not at our usual location, but will be at Founder's House.

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!

In this workshop, we'll walk you through what it takes to link different computer systems (or apps) 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

• why they matter

We'll use examples of Airbnb, Uber, Timeout and many more, and how API's generate incredible features we use everyday on the web.
