Training
One path: start with fundamentals, master the craft, build agent-ready.
Four ways to learn: free live Lightning Lessons, single-session hands-on workshops, cohort-based courses, and private training for whole teams — all built on the same material, all pointing the same way: API products that agents can use.

Workshops
Prefer a single hands-on workshop?
Use a workshop as a side door into a focused API, MCP, ChatGPT app, or agent-skills topic.
Our product and design team found value in Emmanuel's vast understanding of the conventions and histories around API design, and we found the final hands-on exercise of speccing and building a working API and gateway practical and empowering. Recommended to product and design teams with a good foundational technical understanding.
