Build your Rails app with Web APIs - On-campus Workshop

In this workshop we’ll explore working with Web APIs. We’ll cover what Web APIs are, why they’re useful, how to use them, and how to integrate external Web APIs into a Ruby on Rails application. Along the way, we’ll explore various tools, techniques, and Ruby libraries that are useful for working with Web APIs. We’ll then build a small Rails app that takes some form input and uses that to send an SMS message via the Vonage SMS API.

Session pre-requisites

Ruby and Rails installed on your machine.
