One hour into this video, and I have learned more about how to use APIs and Postman than I have with tons of other videos -- COMBINED! I can't see how video instruction can get better than this. All the money I have spent to learn this and actually understand it, and this video instructor provides the most precise explanation I have seen to date! EXCELLENT WORK!
I have not found that to be the case. It's good, there's no doubt about that, but it's certainly not the best I've seen. Some things are not really well explained for beginners (the target audience).
@@douaibblouzi6603 he just said he did not understand it, me neither, I think it was the issues with the applications such as twilio or postman, where the programs are different now than they were 2 years ago. in my case I just watched the course, maybe I should just watch it slower. but in rest this really is a well explained tutorial, in any case better than they are trying to teach in college where you have to pay money for that kind of course, so hats off to this channel.
@@alexvergelea Not trying to enter a dog in the fight, but I found this pretty straight forward even with the apps. I recommend to actually take breaks here and there like instructed and yes indeed slow down to your speed. It breaks it down to a very beginner friendly level provided you understand things like what dictionaries, lists, JSON, etc. are and understand extreme basics networking and what a protocol is. When it comes down to it API's (RESTful) are just ways to utilize resources from someone else's server in this case. You already do something similar whenever you got to this site for example. You just accessed a webpage. You can just get more specific with your request by simply visiting the API pages and adjusting based off the documentation if necessary. The apps he used are pretty similar especially the Spotify site and postman. Postman actually makes it even easier to use and understand than it was in his video. Just remember the API calls when done manually just include a protocol, an API Call or request (like GET, POST, PUT, etc) url, what you are trying to access, and credentials to do so. That's basically the just of it in this video. The rest is just making it even easier by being able to use SDK's to make the syntax even easier for workflow in your chosen language. If you didn't get a section of the video especially in the video just slow it down instead of rushing through. Definitely a great job imo.
I am still at minute 17 in this course but I can't stop my self from going into the comments and stressing how extremely professional and well made with care and love this content is actually is. This way this material was produced and provided to us is super helpful and immersive. Thank you so much!
I attended my first hackathon this weekend and everyone kept mentioning APIs and I was so confused. As a CS major no one has ever really taught me what they are or how to use them so it’s embarrassing to ask my peers of professors for help when everyone else knows what they are. I’m glad I came across this video, I want to learn more about APIs so I can utilize them whenever I attend my next hackathon. So far this video has been super helpful, thank you for putting in so much effort into this!
That's how course should be made. The important thing is: we don't know when to take a break. We always learning and learning something new. But, taking a break from learning will help us more into thinking and processing the knowledge we've gained already. That's how it will remain long in your brain to use later. Instructor should think this what type of knowledge is perfect to deliver to the users depending on the user's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). I liked the style of this course. The way instructor is describing, the way the animator portraying, the way they are recommending us to take a break. It's great. Thank you so much for providing us such a precious and great courses without any cost. Thank you so much.
Possibly the best video course fCC has to offer: the presenter is articulate, the writing is thorough, the jokes are amusing w/o being self indulgent, and the frequent breaks are phenomenal.
Whoever wrote the layout fo this coarse is a teaching genius. I wish I could express how perfect this guy/team is able to properly blend complexity with bite sized, meaningful information. Where do I buy whatever you are selling cause this kind of video/playlist deserves every dollar it gets
I am an Oracle database application developer and trying to learn web technologies . Absolutely splendid work . Conveyed complex technical terms in a perfectly paced and detailed to basic manner
Man, this is the best API tutorial I've ever seen. I've watched many, many API tutorial, and nothing makes sense, and smashes a bunch of information in 5 minutes. This takes it slowly, and teaches API's in a gradual manner. Awesome tutorial! Bravo!
There is so much thought process and hard work put in by the content creators! We need this kind of content more so that students feel more confident learning newer things! I have become a huge fan of the channel...hats off to you guys! Keep doing this great work!
wow, i just found a gem. it took me first couple of minutes to adjust to Craig's tempo but then woohoo - i was on a joyride. Humorous, simple, and informative just like how a tutorial should be.
Really good and clear tutorial. Well paced and explained. Just a note to a few people: when you get to the Twilio section, if your mobile number is based outside the US&Canada, the Twilio API will shift the MediaURL value into the BODY as plain text. It still gets sent by the API and received by the mobile device but is received as a link on the mobile device. Therefore the next stage when you try to GET the gif you have just sent will not work. Took me ages to work this out! *** It would be really useful to add a flag / annotation to the video at this point so people outside North America do not think they have made a mistake and lose time / give up ***
This guy is an awesome teacher. At first I was like this seems like a children’s lesson then I realized this is actually on of the best learning videos I’ve listened to. He makes the content so easy to understand.
What an amaaaaazing instructor Ive never seen such a great energy in a teacher ever thank you so much for teaching us what APIs are and how they work!!!
Such an approachable manner of teaching Craig, thank you. Even as a refresher for me, I just felt compelled to keep listening through... Am sure this has been extremely useful for introducing newcomers into coding no end!
This video surfaced in my google search results at least 100 times. I regrettably avoided it. Instead, I attempted to build and secure a network of API's with authentication layers. I basically spent a week doing nothing. Ten minutes in and for the first time in a week, my heart rate is normal I am not actively contemplating the benefits of destroying my computer. Thank you sir.
Heyy man im still very new to this level of development but the way your explaining this... not only do i understand what you saying but its like your a undercover motivational speaker cuz im getting all hyped up to start working with something i hardly know yet i feel so confident Many thanks man!! even though its 2 years later
In case anyone else is having issues using Windows for the demos (SMS I'm looking at you) I updated to PowerShell 7, installed Scoop - from there I had to add backticks between the lines of code in place of the backslash. That worked for me and I'm sharing this as a comment (instead of just a reply) on the suggestion of someone else who it helped out!
We need a web-awards show for people like Craig. He does a fair amount to further education and watching not great materials it's easy to see that he makes his craft and talent seem effortless and natural (maybe it is). Well done Craig.
Fantastic course. Besides being a course on using APIs, it was also for me a course on effective teaching. On a side note, I am watching this in December 2021 and boy has Postman significantly changed!
I probably watched this video when it dropped a few years ago, and since then, I have paid rent multiple times as a freelancer due to the skills on api learned in this video. Would definitely recommend this video to a friend
This was truly a whirlwind introduction to API's. I believe it was a little more harder for me as I haven't started to learn JAVA yet (still learning Python). But none less, this is an extremely well done course. Thank you Craig for your work and I will now take another rest as I've reached the end to unscramble my brain.
I recommend imagining that Craig's mum has not been with us for the past 30 years, and now you are just watching an IT guy's descent into insanity. Really changes the feel of the video. Really helpful course, btw!
I cannot thank you enough for this. Starting my intership after engineering college as a developer and they wanted me to develop some APIs and this was a LIFE SAVER!!! The spotify example was PERFECT!
The reason they have dislikes is to show that some people don’t like it for whatever reason, or else just have upvotes. I found him to be like the annoying math teacher I had a long time ago Who was good at teaching math but his personality leaves something to be desired. I learned the math and was thankful to learn but did not like the demeaning jokes he told. Bottom line is 100% is impossible
professional video the quality is excellent, explication excellent, body language of instructor excellent, he kill the boredom of self learning , really it must be a good idol for teachers on youtube
Does he teach online or have his own courses/teaching platform? What an incredible educator! Explains concepts, techniques and functionalities thoroughly and in relative depth. I rarely have to rewind, even at 1.25 speed. AMAZING!
'Education isn't meant to be binged' - since hearing this I have put thought into my brain and am learning way faster than I ever thought possible. I went from learning 1 thing at time in big monolithic chunks that put me to sleep and had me questioning my commitment - to much smaller chunks of video not longer than 10 to 15 minutes and a much larger variety of subjects and speakers to keep me fresh - much more energy using this approach. And it doesn't worry me to on-board a subject - just work it into the daily watch list - if there are too many of them just prioritise the ones you definately want to watch or shorten the daily watch time to fit them all in. So easy.
me too! People don't realize how important it is to have an instructor with a good personality and modulation who teaches with examples and explains the "why" to everything.
I'm enjoying your tutorial a lot, but a side note: I think its recommended to invoke pip as python -m pip because it is more portable. Having recently had issues due to Windows10 and trying, naively, to just invoke pip on its own I thought it would be worth mentioning, especially since this is aimed at beginners who might struggle with issues like that. Cheers!
How am I only finding this now?! Can all tutorials/courses be like this please ! The format and delivery is just way too good, doesn't make me wanna fall asleep hahah
I bought a course on udemy about web developing, javascript and it was hard to keep watching without losing interest or getting bored, but this video is really great, u explain so well mate, thanks
This is the first time I watched a tutorial on programming. Took a Basic course years ago and unix. Was lost. Trying again. I thought I knew what an API is, but now, so much more. This is amazing. On the down side, now I understand a little of how the spammer calls work. Don't know how they spoof so many different phone numbers,and local to me numbers... but I'll figure it out.
Terrific writing, delivery, and production! Even if I didn't find the subject interesting, I'm sure I'd still be invested in the course! Craig, you were brilliant!
This was super helpful. I work as a graphic designer/illustrator for a tech company and I constantly have to design stuff for things dealing with API and every time I look at the brief I have no idea what I’m reading because I didn’t fully grasp what an API was or all the lingo they use. This is helpful for the creatives who don’t do well with all the technical stuff.
Thank you for putting all this knowledge together in such a neat and clear way and offering it to us for free. Probably one of the best video tutorials I have ever come across
This guy just makes it crystal clear how much most of our teachers suck at their jobs. The world needs a million more of his caliber. At least. In all areas of education.
Watching an instructional video taught by a teacher (instead of a developer-with-little-to-no-training-in-education) is such a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
I've been loving this course! A minor nitpick: at 1:16:27 it took me a bit to figure out how to open up a terminal from within VS Code--looks like you did it via the keyboard shortcut. I'm not sure that there is anything to be done about it (maybe adding a text annotation around that time? I've gotten the impression that this can be done on existing videos). I'll come back and reply to this comment if I find anything else that seems noteworthy, I hope you find it helpful!
Ive been slamming out books, videos, and trolling reddit for good coding resources for someone learning on thier own. This is fantastic. Your site is even better. Thanks so much for teaching me!
I started drink my coffee in the morning and watched this guy and then I realized my coffee was cold as ice but I kept watching it. Thank you for being my morning coffee ☕️ 😅
API' is like a waiter acts as a medium between the customer and the server/chef, transferring data back and forth. It takes the customer's request (like an order in the restaurant), passes it to the server, and then the server returns the requested data back to the customer. 🙏

Ive been slamming out books, videos, and trolling reddit for good coding resources for someone learning on thier own. This is fantastic. Your site is even better. Thanks so much for teaching me!
I never thought learning api's would be so fun. I would like to learn more from this guy!
The fact that a video this good is free rekindles my hope in humanity
We got this! 💪🚀
This is the most high quality course I've seen on the internet
I started drink my coffee in the morning and watched this guy and then I realized my coffee was cold as ice but I kept watching it. Thank you for being my morning coffee ☕️ 😅
Craig Dennis is a legendary teacher. What an accurate and precise explanation. I felt like I'm learning in person with him.
Amazing! I've always 'kind of' got how APIs worked, but now I got the whole picture. Thanks!
This guy is an awesome teacher, I learned Python from him at Treehouse back when I had no programming language, 5/5
This has got to be one of the most beneficial and meaningful tutorial, I've come across on RUclips
API' is like a waiter acts as a medium between the customer and the server/chef, transferring data back and forth. It takes the customer's request (like an order in the restaurant), passes it to the server, and then the server returns the requested data back to the customer. 🙏
44:11 quick break guys.
AWESOME course, thanks a lot!
