👈 Movie Search | TOC | Chapter 13 Blocks and Procs 👉
In this chapter, you learned how to write programs that interact with other programs running somewhere else on the Internet. You learned what APIs are, how to explore them, how to use them, and how to use them respectfully.
In the next two chapters, you’re going to get a bit more nerdy and abstract and focus on increasing your power and expressivity as a programmer. You’ll start by learning some advanced techniques, which will allow you to create your own iterators and control flow structures. It’s a level of expressivity that I, personally, couldn’t live without.
