This course offers a comprehensive introduction to HTTP requests, REST APIs, and how to build dynamic web applications. You'll learn the fundamentals of HTTP, including request methods such as GET and POST, headers, and bodies. Through hands-on projects, you will retrieve data from APIs, send data to servers, and work with real-world APIs like JSON Placeholder and OpenWeatherMap.

The course also gives you hands-on experience. You'll create a functional blog space, retrieving posts from a server and displaying them on a webpage. You’ll enhance the user interface by adding CSS styling, create forms to submit new posts, and use JavaScript to handle form submissions. You’ll also learn how to implement URL parameters and query strings to filter data. By the end of this course, you'll understand how to structure and send HTTP requests, use a basic REST API, and create interactive web pages that communicate with a server. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your web development skills, this course will equip you with essential tools to build dynamic applications.

Expand your API knowledge by learning REST, URLs and HTTP requests.
