Hi: I am new to Software Carpentry. I attended the "R" workshop during Pycon 2014. Some friends attended "The
Software Carpentry for Librarians" bootcamp. I looked at the covered lessons and I noticed there was not anything about accessing web services. Especially in the case of librarians, I was a bit surprised by the lack of a lesson on web based APIs because folks like the OCLC offer stuff like WorldCat API. If it does not exist, I would like to suggest a Software Carpentry Lesson on WebAPIs. Some of the topics mentioned could be why web APIs, HTTP and ReST, the cURL utility and Python with the requests library, JSON. XML and beautiful soap would be nice too. I am not a Software Carpentry instructor. However I have given Pycon talks and I think I could prototype a lesson. Not sure how I would go about that though. Cheers, Andrew
