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.

Team workshop client
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.
