What you'll learn

The “API Economy” may be a buzzword, but it’s a worthwhile one. In this short, fast-paced course, you’ll quickly cover the most important ideas and principles around the API Economy — taking a modular, “building block” approach to building business solutions. You'll begin by getting clear on how to think about an API, what common jargon and terminology to expect, how to recognize limitations, and how to plan for change. At the end of this course, you’ll have explored how this approach is changing the way we plan, build and implement business solutions.
