REST API Workshop with fitogram in Cologne June 23, 2018

Get good at REST API design in 1 day! Learn the best practices and avoid common anti-patterns. Know when you need REST and when GraphQL or RPC would work better. Broaden your network and get involved with fitogram – the fastest growing sport & fitness platform in Europe.

This workshop will enable you to make clear decisions when designing your own REST API`s and avoid common AntiPatterns. We explore REST from its theoretical principles whilst providing practical rules of thumb you can apply day to day. Walk away with a clear understanding of REST and a concise rulebook to use for your own designs.

Among the areas we will cover are:

Resource Modelling & Archetypes
Request methods and how to use them
Response codes
URI design and query string
Authentication
Rules of good REST design & Common AntiPatterns
Modeling complex actions & de-normalisation
REST vs GraphQL vs RPC
In this workshop you will work on and have access to several example APIs provided by fitogram and N3XTCODER. In addition you will get exposed to tools such as OpenAPI (Swagger) for modeling and documenting your APIs.

What skills are required: Intermediate to advanced

know how to code – be proficient in at least one programming language
understand simple client/server interactions over HTTP
Git (Basic to Intermediate)

We run two parallel workshops tracks in Cologne. Besides REST API we will have a frontend track and deep dive into React.js. This is a unique opportunity for frontend and backend developers to interact and to create genuine outcomes.
