This month HWG member Alessandro Corra will be giving a relaxed, story-driven introduction to APIs. We’ll look at what an API actually is, why they were created in the first place, and the problems they were designed to solve. Using simple REST examples, we’ll explore how APIs help different systems talk to each other, why good documentation matters, and what the typical lifecycle of an API looks like.

You don’t need to be a backend developer to follow along. The goal is simply to give everyone a clearer understanding of how APIs quietly power most of the modern web, and why they make developers’ lives so much easier!

We will be based at Eden Court's Community Table from 6pm.

We appreciate RSVPs on Kommunity, they help us plan.

If you'd like to join us, please mark yourself as attending.

Our group is an informal and friendly setting for chat about all types of web developing/designing/ code-related stuff. It’s a good place for techy people of all kinds to get together, socialise and network.
