Theoretical foundations

This course centers itself around the basics of API Development in a Cloud Native way.

Broadly speaking this means developing secure APIs which are built to use and become Cloud Services inside highly flexible Containers which get automatically rebuilt once new code gets pushed via CI/CD.

We will be exploring all these aspects in time. To start off, these sections cover the (theoretical) basics of API Development:

• What is an API?
• API frameworks
• First API steps
• Working with JSON
• Cloud computing
• HTTP methods
