Software is everywhere. We interact with it in our daily life activities knowingly or unknowingly. Each time when you use an app like Instagram, send an instant message, or check the stock prices on your phone, you're using an API. The world still needs more software to make our life easier. But creating great software is hard for everyone and yet developers need to master more than one skill.

This problem can be solved by API (Application Program Interface). It is a software-to-software interface that enables two applications to exchange data among each other. Just like any buttons on the remote does have a unique function. It is true almost all applications using API to interact with each other.

This course is generally good. However, when I ran same code as the Section 3: 10 Query String using the code provided in the Resources. I did not get the same results. I could not build a database (SQLite). I did not know what was wrong. Is there anyone can help me?

The explanations are rough. The course IMO is pre-recorded with voice-over. Sometimes it is hard to understand because he often muffles. The font size is small. No details are explained, for example, instructions on how to install the necessary libraries, etc. The screen is moving too fast; the flow is poor. Also, after comparing it with the other courses, this one was very basic and needed more depth. The only good thing is that it is short (if that can be taken as a compliment).

Very clear explanation. Would have been good if the instructor had covered frond end also and integration with the services he wrote.

It is not enough to understand a topic - it is crucial to be capable of teaching it to others. This author totally lacks the latter! Waste of time! I do not recommend this course.
