Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are computer interfaces that stipulate how multiple software applications can communicate with one another. Companies are moving to create more APIs than ever and there is a huge push for "microservices" as well.

This workshop is a perfect gateway to gaining a fundamental understanding of APIs and how to leverage them. No matter what your background experience is, if you have an interest in either building or leveraging existing APIs this workshop would be a great way to further your experience.
