Overview

Who should take this course?


This course is designed for beginner developers who are responsible for building, deploying, managing, and governing no-code APIs on the Anypoint Platform. Students should have a basic understanding of data formats, such as XML and JSON, and possess foundational knowledge of common integration technologies, such as HTTP, REST, and SOAP. A self-paced version of this course is also available.

 

This course is not recommended for experienced developers or architects. However, if you are an experienced developer or architect interested in learning APIs, we highly recommend Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals (DEX401).

 

Note: Students using their own computer are expected to follow the steps outlined in this Computer Setup Guide.


When you complete this course, you will be able to:


  • Describe the benefits of application networks and API-led connectivity.
  • Use Anypoint Exchange as a central repository for the discovery and reuse of assets.
  • Use API Designer to define APIs with RESTful API modeling language (RAML) and make them discoverable by adding them to Exchange.
  • Use Anypoint Studio to build APIs that connect to databases and transform data with DataWeave.
  • Deploy API implementations to CloudHub.
  • Use API Manager to create and deploy API proxies that govern access to APIs.
