What to expect from this course?
The course will give you the basics of API management using Apigee X and will guide you through several hands-on practical lessons that you are able to do yourself after registering for free Google Cloud trial for 90 days with USD 300 credit.
This is the only course on this platform available so far, that targets the newly released version (February 2021) of Apigee X within the Apigee family of API Management platforms. So this course is the first and unique of its kind.
All the required steps to setup your Apigee platform to practice at home or office on your stand-alone dev platform have been demonstrated through video lectures.
This course doesn't show provisioning of production organisation but only the evaluation (Eval) organisation. Once having gone through the eval organisation setup, production organisation setup can easily follow.
The course has useful tutorials on setting a budget alert, enabling and disabling GCP and removing unused projects to save resources and therefore preserve your valuable credits.
Brief exposure on Apigee Hybrid is provided for those who are exploring the hybrid world for their organisations.
However it sets up the student to take a more advanced level course on the topic.
In this course all our references to Apigee are specific to Apigee X which is the current fresh from the kitchen version of Apigee API management platform. Apigee X is of recent origin having been in existence since February 2021. Apigee edge was the previous version. Google cloud is only supporting Apigee X for evaluation organisation. Hence this course is entirely based on Apigee X.
There are about 30 hands-on exercises which should give plenty of opportunity for practical training on these topics:
Getting started with API Proxy with Apigee X (that includes: Create, Test, Deploy, Change the Target Endpoint and Adding a Policy to an API Proxy)
Setting up important traffic management policies (SpikeArrest and Quota Policies) in API proxies
Create, test and deploy API with XML to JSON policy
Add OAuth2 authentication to an API Proxy and test it
Adding API key to an API Proxy and test its effectiveness
Goals
These are the important course objectives:
- Importance of APIs and API Management
- Apigee X Google Cloud API Management Platform

Finally, here are some of my earlier reviews from courses on Tutorialspoint:
"Kaushik's courses are my main reference for anything C# - I find his explanations full of detail which helps to solidify a full understanding of even the most complex aspects of C# programming." - Martin Catherall (Microsoft MVP) - Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio
"An elaborate and detailed description for a beginner. The author has put a lot of effort into structuring the content. Certainly proved useful to me as a starter." - Sudeep Ghatak (ASP.NET Core 3 with MVC and MongoDB)
"Great material. Learned a lot." - John Taylor (Master Collection Classes in C# Using Visual Studio)
"Well explained in detail." - Fred Handal (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On
"It's a nice introduction into Blazor server side where you got a good understanding of Blazor fundamentals" - Seb Lowe (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On)
"One of the best Blazor course" - Mohamed Cisse (Build and Learn ASP.NET Core 3.1 Blazor Hands-On)
"If you're like me and were struggling to setup/use Apigee X because the Google docs were lacking the depth to understand the step you were taking and what to do next, this course is for you! Great beginner Apigee X course, I'm really looking forward to the Intermediate/Advanced course to come" - Garrick Brown (Google Cloud Apigee X API Management - Hands-On Training )
