An Introduction to the SAFE API

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/d/c/7/600_454788583.jpeg

Let’s learn how to build apps for the SAFE Network!

The SAFE Network (https://safenetwork.org/) is a decentralized data storage and communications network that provides a secure, efficient and no-cost infrastructure for app developers.

Here are some examples of open source apps that have been built using the REST API exposed by SAFE Launcher (https://maidsafe.readme.io/docs/launcher):

– SAFE Demo App (https://apps.safenetwork.org/safe-demo-app/)

– SAFE Beaker Browser (https://apps.safenetwork.org/safe-beaker-browser/)

– SAFE Mail Tutorial (https://apps.safenetwork.org/safe-mail-tutorial/)

– SafeEditor (https://apps.safenetwork.org/safeeditor/)

– SafeNote (https://apps.safenetwork.org/safenote/)

Presentations

David (https://github.com/davidmtl) will first explain what SAFE Launcher is and why developers should use it. He will then present the high-level APIs (Authorization, NFS and DNS) exposed by SAFE Launcher. He will also demo 2 apps he built: SafeEditor and SafeNote.

Francis (https://github.com/frabrunelle) will present the new low-level APIs (Structured Data, Immutable Data, Appendable Data and Data Identifier) exposed by SAFE Launcher. He will then explain the first 2 tutorials of the SAFE Dev Tutorials (https://tutorials.safedev.org/) series. He will also talk about the new SAFE API Docs (https://api.safedev.org/) website.

Both presentations will be in French.
