Using the DataPower Gateway with the IBM API Connect Developer Toolkit - ZD504G

Description

There are no presentations in this course; it contains only hands-on lab exercises. You assemble APIs and test these APIs from the Developer Toolkit on a remote DataPower Gateway Docker image with the prerequisite software installed.

Student workstations for this course require connectivity to the internet. Students download the DataPower Gateway onto the course image during the exercises as a Docker image.
