This two-day course provides students with a technical understanding of developing REST APIs for IBM Cúram.

IBM Cúram Mobile applications provide flexible access to Cúram by health and social care workers while visiting clients. The main change in IBM Cúram SPM 6.1 is the provision of REST APIs and an infrastructure to create REST APIs to allow mobile applications access Cúram resources. This course describes how to develop REST APIs for IBM Cúram by using recommended practices.

During the course, students will design and implement a simple REST API that can be called from a mobile application.
