If you want to make a custom Instagram feed, a Figma-driven client presentation tool, a Bitcoin tracker, or your own redesigned version of Twitter, all of these projects need to communicate back-and-forth with a data source.
Our short online course, aimed at bners, is designed for people who want to work with APIs (how different websites talk to each other) and Ajax (one way of grabbing and sending that data) together to make remixed projects.
Learn to work with your own data and external data sources
Work with data across several formats such as JSON, XML + HTML
Make sites that use services like Figma, Instagram and Contentful to make data-driven sites
Using data from sources like Unsplash search to build interactive API-driven sites
How to work with sites that don’t have APIs to use with web scraping
Making sites that can log in and sign up with Twitter (or other 3rd parties!)
Real world projects – Projects and code that you can alter and remix to add to your own sites and portfolio
Access the community – Join our Slack and connect with thousands of SuperHi students and alumni
Continued help – Help from our expert teachers and educators with years of experience in the industry
Resources – Resources to get you started and going post-course
8+ hours of video lessons – Practical, go-at-your-own pace learning
Anyone who is looking for ways to work with data from third party services such as Figma, Contentful, Twitter or Instagram.
We would recommend a little knowledge of HTML, CSS and javascript before starting this course – taking one of Foundation HTML, CSS + JS or javascript for Designers courses will be sufficient – as we’ll be covering how to work with them in context of sending and receiving data to web pages.
A portion of the course covers back-end coding with Ruby but prior knowledge of Ruby or back-end coding isn’t needed to join this course.
Most of our students work in the creative industries – designers, strategists and copywriters are the most common jobs – but you can work in any industry to join the course.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
A computer with Mac OS X 10.9 or above, Windows XP or above, or a recent Linux version installed and a broadband internet connection. That’s it!
