Trainings

Each training here is a complete session — a slide deck you work through at your own pace, with a PDF fallback and, where it helps, hands-on material that runs against a live API.

They are written for the analyst’s side of integration work: deciding whether an integration is needed, what it must do, what happens when it fails, and who to involve before design starts. No developer background is assumed, and nothing needs installing.

Everything is free and published under CC BY-SA 4.0, so you can use it to teach as well as to learn.

Sessions are grouped into series. A series is meant to be worked through in order, but each part stands on its own if you only need one.

API Integration for Analysts

Four sessions on the analyst's side of integration work: choosing between styles, writing requirements a developer can build from, specifying security, and keeping an API documented and testable. Built around a live demo API you can call yourself.

1. Part 1 How systems really talk to each other The API and integration landscape — a working map for analysts 90 min
2. Part 2 Before build starts API requirements and integration design — the analyst's half of the work 90 min
3. Part 3 API security In preparation
4. Part 4 Documentation, testing and lifecycle In preparation
