It introduced me to tools that I was not aware of (e.g. Redoc, and Kiota by Microsoft), both of which will be very useful for the projects I work on.

What I liked most about the OpenAPI course was the clarity of instruction. The explanations of OpenAPI concepts were clear and easy to follow, making complex topics more accessible. The practical examples and real-world use cases were particularly valuable, as they helped me see how OpenAPI can be applied in various scenarios. The hands-on exercises and projects provided excellent opportunities to practice and reinforce the concepts learned. Additionally, the quality of the course material, including the demo videos, was top-notch, and very helpful in understanding the implementation details.

I liked the breakdown and how it was easy to navigate between different pages. There wasn't too much information on any page, either, so it was easy to go back to find a specific piece of information without having to dig through long paragraphs.
