Join Apigee for a free, one-day workshop and build an app-store ready, API powered mobile app for iOS, Android or Windows Phone 8 in a single day!
Regardless of your background – this hands-on workshop will walk you, step-by-step, through the process of building an API-driven mobile app. You’ll learn about: the ends and outs of building a multi-page application; the history of APIs and best practices in API design; leveraging APIs to create, read, update, filter, sort and delete data; handling offline data access; implementing phone features such as geolocation; managing users, groups and roles; using NodeJS to build and proxy your own APIs and much more! And you will do it all using HTML5 and Javascript before wrapping the app up for distribution through the app stores with PhoneGap.
The workshop is completely free – and all of the software & services we’ll be using are open-source!
