Course Overview
Get a hands-on introduction to Anypoint Platform™ and learn the basics to design, build, deploy, and manage APIs without writing any code.
What you’ll learn
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 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.
Requirements
- This introductory course is for anyone involved in an Anypoint Platform project who wants to get hands-on experience learning about the platform and how to use it to discover, consume, design, build, deploy, manage, and govern APIs — all without writing any code. This course is not for developers and architects who are going to take the Anypoint Platform Development: Fundamentals course, which includes this content and more. Note: A self-paced version of this course is also available. Prerequisites A basic understanding of data formats such as XML and JSON A basic understanding of typical integration technologies such as HTTP, REST, and SOAP
