Description
The focus of this session is to provide and introduction to the code behind application programming interfaces (APIs). Have you ever listened to a presentation and thought, “That is a great idea!” but feel a little lost when the word API is tossed into the mix? I want to remove some of the mystery and encourage you to try out a little coding. We will start by looking at the languages and data formats that are frequently used as well as what tools can be used, then we will move on to a couple of code examples that are relevant to those working with IRs.
