By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Plan and organize a software project around API first design concepts.
- Discuss agree on a shared vision of the API with other stakeholders.
- Evaluate and adopt the tools needed to efficiently implement an API first approach.
- Develop software in parallel with other team members.
- Reduce the cost of developing software applications.
Format of the Course
