APIs, Requests, and Integration Thinking
Understand requests, responses, auth, and integrations so you can reason about application behavior across boundaries.
Many engineering bugs appear at the seams between systems rather than inside one file or one service.
This topic introduces HTTP thinking, request and response flow, authentication, status codes, payload shape, and dependency awareness. Learners practice reading API behavior like evidence instead of treating integrations as magic.
That mindset helps in both software engineering and support roles because it sharpens system-level reasoning.
