How to Learn API Development?
Learning how to develop APIs is an important skill for modern-day developers. Here’s a mind map of what all you need to learn about API development:
API Fundamentals
What is an API, types of API (REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, etc.), and API vs SDK.API Request/Response
HTTP Methods, Response Codes, and Headers.Authentication and Security
Authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth 2, API Keys, Basic Auth) and security strategies.API Design and Development
RESTful API principles include stateless, resource-based URL, versioning, and pagination. Also, API documentation tools like OpenAPI, Postman, Swagger.API Testing
Tools for testing APIs such as Postman, cURL, SoapUI, and so on.API Deployment and Integration
Consuming APIs in different languages like JS, Python, and Java. Also, working with 3rd party APIs like the Google Maps API and the Stripe API. Learn about API Gateways like AWS, Kong, Apigee.
Over to you: What else will you add to the list for learning API development?
Must-Know Network Protocol Dependencies
Understanding network protocol dependencies is essential for cybersecurity and networking. Here’s a quick understanding of the same:
IPv4 and IPv6 are the foundation of all networking. ICMP and ICMPv6 handle diagnostics, while IPsec ensures secure communication.
TCP and UDP support various protocols. SCTP and DCCP serve specific cases.
Some TCP-based protocols are HTTP, SSH, BGP, RDP, IMAP, SMTP, POP, etc.
UDP-based protocols are DNS, DHCP, SIP, RTP, NTP, etc.
SSL/TLS encrypts HTTPS, IMAPS, and SMTPS.
LDAP and LDAPs are used for directory services over TCP and secured with SSL/TLS.
QUIC is a UDP-based replacement for TCP+TLS for faster, encrypted connections.
MCP or Model Context Protocol is an emerging standard for communicating with LLMs.
Over to you: Which other network protocol will you add to the list?

Prototype: Clone Maker - Creates copies of fully prepared examples.
Singleton: One and Only - A special class with just one instance.
Adapter: Universal Plug - Connects things with different interfaces.
Bridge: Function Connector - Links how an object works to what it does.
Composite: Tree Builder - Forms tree-like structures of simple and complex parts.
Decorator: Customizer - Adds features to objects without changing their core.
Facade: One-Stop-Shop - Represents a whole system with a single, simplified interface.
Flyweight: Space Saver - Shares small, reusable items efficiently.
Proxy: Stand-In Actor - Represents another object, controlling access or actions.
Chain of Responsibility: Request Relay - Passes a request through a chain of objects until handled.
Command: Task Wrapper - Turns a request into an object, ready for action.
Iterator: Collection Explorer - Accesses elements in a collection one by one.
Mediator: Communication Hub - Simplifies interactions between different classes.
Memento: Time Capsule - Captures and restores an object's state.
Observer: News Broadcaster - Notifies classes about changes in other objects.
Visitor: Skillful Guest - Adds new operations to a class without altering it.

The purpose of sending you an email is to draw your attention to our company. We are a ceramic manufacturer from China, Linyi Guangfa Porcelain Co., Ltd.

Accelerating sales. With gen AI’s capacity to boost revenue, increase sales productivity, and streamline processes, B2B leaders are increasingly looking to the technology to drive significant and profitable growth, McKinsey Partners Alexander Dierks and Richelle Deveau and their coauthors explain. In McKinsey’s latest B2B Pulse Survey of B2B decision-makers,19% of respondents reported that they were already implementing gen AI use cases for B2B buying and selling, while another 23% said they were in the process of doing so.

They turned OFA on its head! You gotta see this!
Hoping you got my email on Tuesday… Something BIG is coming!
Russell is serious about this because apparently he and Trey have a friendly little competition (...and possibly wager) going on with this OFA!
They want to see who’s team can earn the most $$$ in 30 days! Haha!!
So, who’s team will you be on?
Expert Or Ecom - Which OFA Track Is Right For You? (Starts Next Monday) >>
Maybe it’s because he burned OFA down and built it again from the ground up…
Or maybe it’s their friendly little competition…
But I’ve never seen him dialed in like this to help Funnel Hackers…
They completely revamped the One Funnel Away Challenge, and Russell and Trey are going all in for the students that pick “their” path!
What that means is… You’re not only getting incredible content, strategies, and funnels… You’re going to get the absolute best training and coaching possible with this “new” OFA format!
Russell is kicking it off Monday! Yea… That’s just a few days away!
If you haven’t signed up yet, do yourself a favor and SIGN UP NOW!
(And don’t forget… It’s 100% FREE this time!)
Expert Or Ecom - Which OFA Track Is Right For You? (Starts Next Monday) >>
With this new OFA that Russell created… The possibilities are limitless for you!
Imagine where you could be 30 days from now if you really buckle down on this and try.
Be honest… A lot of us “say” we’re trying… But have you really been trying? What would happen if you really, truly TRIED for 30 days??
Like… went 110% for 30 days… What would happen?
Now’s your chance!
Expert Or Ecom - Which OFA Track Is Right For You? (Starts Next Monday) >>

Writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code sounds easy as a requirement, but is a constant challenge when developing real-world applications.
As projects grow, the task becomes more complex. One way to simplify it is by identifying recurring design problems, which can be solved using appropriate design patterns.
Design patterns are proven, reusable solutions to common software design problems. They provide best practices and structured approaches for solving recurring challenges. These patterns are not concrete implementations but templates or guidelines that can be adapted to specific use cases.
But what makes design patterns important? Here are a few basic reasons:
Patterns often encourage modular and reusable code.
Well-structured designs make the codebase easier to understand, modify, and extend.
Patterns allow new features to be added without major rewrites.
Design patterns provide a common vocabulary for discussing software architecture, improving collaboration among developers.
However, anti-patterns also exist. They are often bad practices that lead to unmaintainable, inefficient, and overly complex code.
From a developer’s perspective, understanding both design patterns and anti-patterns is essential for writing high-quality software. Knowing design patterns helps developers apply the right solutions to common problems while recognizing anti-patterns allows them to avoid common mistakes that lead to bad architecture.
In this article, we’ll first look at the most popular OOP Design Patterns. Then, we will also investigate the common anti-patterns that should be avoided.

Fewer advancement opportunities. If career advancement were a ladder, many women find that the first rung is broken. That’s what McKinsey Senior Partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez—authors of the new book The Broken Rung—reveal in a recent episode of The McKinsey Podcast. Although about half of corporate America’s entry-level employees are women, only 81 of them are promoted to a manager role for every 100 men who are offered that same opportunity.

Where the economic action will be
Re:think
FRESH TAKES ON BIG IDEAS
ON THE ARENAS OF COMPETITION
How to identify the growth industries of tomorrow
Chris BradleyIn 2005, the top ten global companies averaged about $250 billion in market cap. They belonged to a very traditional, very old set of industries, such as oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, retailing, and banking. There was just one software company on the list: Microsoft. Today, nine of these companies are no longer on the top ten list, and the companies that replaced them are from a very different set of industries. By 2023, these firms were eight times bigger than those they replaced. Looking back, it seems that something almost magical was happening.
Research by the McKinsey Global Institute shows that these new top industries sprang from a remarkably small number of crucibles, which we call “arenas of competition.” Arenas are where the action is in the business world. Two main characteristics define them: They account for an outsize share of economic growth, and market shares of companies within them change to an outsize degree—a metric we call “dynamism.”
Using these two main criteria, we first identified 12 arenas of today, which arose between 2005 and 2020. They include industries such as consumer internet, software, semiconductors, and video and audio entertainment. These industries became epicenters of growth, largely driven by digital and silicon innovations that spurred enormous new technology races.
In that 15-year period, arenas grew their revenues at a CAGR of 10 percent, two and a half times faster than nonarenas, which grew at just 4 percent. In addition, the market caps of today’s arenas grew at a 16 percent CAGR, almost three times faster than nonarenas. Arenas also tripled their global GDP share to 9 percent, from 3 percent, in that period. They generated just 9 percent of our sample’s economic profit in 2005, but by 2019, they accounted for 49 percent.
So the differences between arenas and nonarenas are dramatic. To borrow an analogy from Harry Potter, arenas are like wizards, while normal industries are like muggles. Arenas, like wizards, operate with slightly different rules than muggles and make their own magic.
Arenas improve their capabilities by escalating investment in R&D. So if I check the six Big Tech companies today, they are spending over $400 billion a year on capital expenditures and R&D. To put that in context, the Apollo space program, in today’s dollars, was about $190 billion.“The 12 arenas of today tripled their share of GDP growth to 9 percent, from 3 percent.”
In arenas, greater spending on R&D also drives industry shakeouts and hyperscaled global structures. Arenas also earn far greater profits than other industries do, spawn a disproportionate number of global giants, and offer unusually strong opportunities for new entrants to become powerhouses.
This is where the wizardry comes in. Technology breakthroughs make possible what we call an “arena-creation potion,” which enables the escalatory mode of competition that characterizes arenas. The potion has three ingredients: a reset of the technology platform, a huge incentive to escalate investments that improve quality and often have increasing returns to scale, and the presence of a large, addressable market. The magic happens when you get these three ingredients right, leading to escalatory competition among companies that make large investments to gain both market share and higher product quality.
We used the three elements of the potion to try to peer into the future and spot arenas that could plausibly emerge between now and 2040. We identified 18, which could account for one-third of all economic growth going forward. They include AI, space, obesity drugs, and nuclear fission, to name a few.
Together, they could yield $29 trillion to $48 trillion in revenues and $2 trillion to $6 trillion in profits by 2040. Furthermore, in terms of impact on the economy, we estimate that they could grow from about 4 percent of GDP in 2022 to 10 to 16 percent by 2040. This translates to an 18 to 34 percent share of total GDP growth.
A key takeaway for business leaders and investors is that you’re either competing with an arena, attacked by an arena, or in an arena. Even though arenas are a small part of the economy, they drive so much of its growth and dynamism that their reach is felt everywhere. Amazon, for example, touches cloud, AI, and video—but also advertising and logistics.
It’s also important to bear in mind what we call the “shuffle rate,” or the churn of market share within an arena. Back in 2005, one-third of the market cap we have today consisted of tiny competitors or companies that didn’t yet exist. So arenas are places where new competitors will emerge and new players will step in. It’s like winning a gold medal. In these arenas, winning a gold medal really, really, really matters—but it’s not a gold medal for life. The Olympics come around every four years, and companies have to keep earning that gold medal. It’s that incessant competition that drives the rate of innovation.Share Chris Bradley’s insights
