Loopback Hackathon

Common Europe og COMMON North America inviterer til gratis hackaton 17. til 19. januar. Arrangementet er virtuelt og gratis for alle. Denne virtuelle begivenheten vil samle studenter fra hele verden, ansatte i tidlig karriere og nye utviklere av IBM i på Power Systems for å forbedre ferdighetene i applikasjonsutvikling.

Mark Irish, Advisory Software Developer fra IBM har finjustert LoopBack-rammeverket for å lage REST APIer ved å bruke Node.js og TypeScript på IBM i. Han vil lede denne tredagers begivenheten med to dagers utdanning om LoopBack, inkludert bakgrunnsteori og sikkerhet, og holder et begrenset hackathon for å lage REST API-ene på tredje dag.

LoopBack: Background and Technology Stack
LoopBack is a framework for making REST APIs using Node.js and TypeScript. This one-hour session will give a short preview of LoopBack and highlight some of its strengths before delving into the underlying technology stack that makes all of the magic possible. If you are concerned that creating REST APIs with open-source software is too confusing or has too many moving parts, this session will help lay those fears to rest (pun intended).

Wednesday 18 January 09:00 – 10:00 am Central (16:00 – 17:00 hours CET)
LoopBack: Theory, Security, and Demo
Once we understand the underlying technology, it is time to understand the various components that make a LoopBack application work. We will talk about connectors, data sources, repositories, controllers, and more. But I will also highlight how many of these components are generated for you, and you don’t have to touch them unless you really want to customize your application. I will also cover the principles behind securing your REST APIs, such as using TLS certificates and authentication schemes. After this session, you will have all of the knowledge you need to create REST APIs in the Hackathon.

LoopBack Hackathon: Creating your REST APIs is as easy as C L I
Co-host Koen Decorte
On day three, we will finally get to program our REST APIs! In this hackathon, you will be provided instructions to create your own REST APIs to serve up your application data through an interface that other applications, no matter their underlying technology, can reliably consume. You will quickly see that one of the most powerful parts of LoopBack is that the CLI (command line interface) takes care of most of the heavy lifting for you! By the end of the hackathon, you will have fully functional and secure API endpoints, and the knowledge to use LoopBack to create API endpoints for you own business cases!
