This course contains videos that feature Atelier, built on Eclipse, as the IDE, which has been deprecated in favor of Visual Studio Code. The instructional content of this course is not dependent on Atelier, and is compatible with Visual Studio Code.
Learn how to set up a RESTful service in InterSystems IRIS® data platform, using an API to define how client applications interact with your service.
Try coding exercises in a temporary online instance of InterSystems IRIS and learn the basics with an introduction to relevant terminology and video descriptions of REST use cases.
This course contains five instructional lessons, plus several exercises and quizzes. The videos and simulations are best viewed in full-screen mode.
