Postman topics
12 short topics in APIs and Integration. Each one is a single focused exercise with a clear piece of evidence at the end.
12 topics, one exercise each.
Work through them in order, or jump to the one you need.
These are draft topic outlines (draft; instructor review pending). Full lessons follow after review; ask Ajay if you need a topic sooner.

Learn the same ideas beyond Postman.
These courses share topics with this one, so you can compare how each language or tool handles the same concept.
