Get your team up the learning curve with the industry-standard OpenAPI specification language, so you can start designing, documenting, and developing REST APIs with confidence. As a governing board member of the OpenAPI Initiative and a contributor to the OpenAPI specification (formerly known as the Swagger API description language), I have developed and facilitated a series of highly successful, hands-on OpenAPI training workshops at conferences including Open Source Summit, API Strategy & Practice, and API Summit. Remote training workshops are delivered with complete courseware, including slides, exercises, and a video recording of the training session. Instructor facilitation is provided throughout. The quoted hourly rate covers up to five participants in a remote training session. Larger groups, on-site training, and a customized training curriculum can also be arranged. Typical introductory topics include: * OpenAPI history, purpose, and essential use cases * Document structure and API building blocks: * Defining message structures with OpenAPI Schema Objects * API documentation with markdown, tags and examples * Collaboration and reuse with components * Pragmatic REST API design patterns and practices * Overview of advanced features: security schemes, links and callbacks
