(community of practice)

Introduction

FAIR stewardship of scientific data creates opportunities to discover, enrich and analyze a growing number of real-time epidemiology resources. There are three key key tools we'll use in teh exploration of APIs:

1. Observable Notebooks

Literal programing as a research and documentation solution. Maintain your own: observablehq.com .

2. GitHub

Social coding, you'll absolutely need an account - that's where we manage documentation and communications (gitter).

3. Postman

Collaborative API exploration and development: postman.com
