£5-10 GBP / hour

I am looking for someone to teach me how to use an API. I have a good understanding about computers, studied physics and have sound logical thinking. I have also worked with a large number of developers over a few years (although have not done any programming). I am now looking to understand specifically how an API works. What specifically do I want to learn: - what is an API and how does it work - we'll use postman to do the majority of our teaching (unless you have a better idea) and screenshare - first part we can do some simple get/post requests to a basic API and you explain what is happening, how it works and what we can do with the data we have received - later we cover authentication, more advanced things. I would like to do this over a few sessions. Each session 30-60min via screenshare. I will ask you questions to learn during each session.

Hello there, I am a passionate developer with 3 years of experience in teaching. I also have sound logical thinking and I am able to bring any new notion you will learn as a logical consequence of what you already acknowledge to be true. You can see all of my 31 good reviews as a teacher here : [login to view URL] So here's how I would like to structure my course regarding the understanding of API's : - Basic overview of the HTTP Protocol (20~30min) - Overview of various public APIs (with Postman). - Writing a minimal program that can be considered an API (15~30 minutes) - Consuming an API with low level tools (netcat, curl) in verbose mode and see everything that happens from the request to the response - Consuming an API with higher level tools (Postman) - Advanced use of Postman (Environment, Scrips, Collections, Tests) If there's something you don't like in this programme we can always change it, I have come up with it just now while writing my proposal. About the budget, I know my courses are not as cheap as you would expect (seeing you proposed 5 to 10/hour) but I really think learning is not something to save penny-pinching on. I have bidded with my lowest possible price rate as compared to my rates on the website I sent you. It corresponds to 25 euros. Make the right choice and let's get started :) !

Hello, how are you? I have good sense about British employers. I have worked with a British man and he is a little hard and doesn't like long speech, but very responsible. I am a senior web & mobile app developer. I want to teach kindly you and you to be a senior developer like me. Api area is just normal knowledge to me. You need to know how to use not only postman but also swagger. In fact, great team members like to use postman or swagger, and manage developing process. I will explain more via short chat including my previous projects. I hope you grow to good developer via our good relationship. Regards. From <Rightbigboss>

Hi, I've got a lot of experience teaching college students and experience using 3 different APIs, but we should use the twitter API as an example. l doubt it'll take you long to understand the basics of what's going on - it's just a bit of jargon people never explain properly. Jen

Hi Hiring Manager, I have reviewed your description and I can see your interest in API. Actually, you must be talking about RESTful API that provides the data for frontend applications. I've 4 years of experience working with web services, desktop applications, restful APIs etc. I can work on Java and Python but as per your requirements, you don't need to be worried about platforms in which APIs are building from. But you can query any Java and Python-related APIs issues. And eventually, you need to pick a language to write APIs(RESTful APIs) though. I'm currently working on a project which is similar as Uber App( and it deals with the backend part(APIs) for IOS/Andriod app and Web application dashboard. I can show you the complete flow of uber architecture and your queries as well. I can cover you these parts, 1. Basic introduction of RESTful API 2. Will show you APIs(uber) through postman/crul and will explain overall things 3. Will describe you about all HTTP requests like POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, PATCH etc 4. Will describe you authorization and authentication - we can cover OAuth as well 5. If you're interested - I can show you sample RESTful APIs code either in Python(DJango RESTful API) or Java (Spring) Note: I must have to be honest with you that I'm not native English speaker and my accent may not be easy for you to understand but I can assure that you'll have the best experience regarding the APIs workflow. Thank You!
