API stands for Application Programming Interface. It allows different software systems to communicate.
Think of an API like a waiter at a restaurant. You (the customer) don't go into the kitchen yourself—you tell the waiter what you want, and they communicate with the kitchen on your behalf. An API works the same way between software systems.
Configure the settings appropriately.
Navigate to Settings > Advanced > Performance. Set 'Cache Duration' to 3600 (this means data refreshes every hour). Click Save. You should see a green confirmation message.
That covers everything about this topic.
Quick recap: We covered three key concepts today: 1) What APIs are and why they matter, 2) The difference between REST and GraphQL approaches, 3) How to make your first API call. Next, we'll explore authentication.
Educational writing exists to transfer knowledge and skills from writer to reader. Unlike content that entertains or persuades, educational content succeeds when readers actually learn—when they understand concepts, remember information, or can perform new tasks.
Effective educational writing requires understanding not just your subject, but how people learn.
Scaffolding: Build knowledge progressively. Start with foundations before advancing to complex ideas. Each new concept should connect to previously established understanding.
Chunking: Break information into digestible pieces. Working memory has limits; respect them by presenting information in manageable chunks.
Repetition with Variation: Reinforce key concepts through different angles—examples, applications, summaries—without boring repetition.
Active Engagement: Learning requires mental effort. Questions, exercises, and application opportunities deepen understanding.
Well-structured educational content typically includes:
Introduction: Why this matters, what you'll learn, prerequisites
Concept Explanation: Clear definitions, context, significance
Examples: Concrete illustrations of abstract concepts
Application: How to use the knowledge in practice
Summary: Key takeaways for retention
Next Steps: Where to go for deeper learning
Analogies are educational writers' secret weapon. They connect unfamiliar concepts to familiar experiences:
Good analogies illuminate; poor analogies confuse. Test them to ensure they clarify rather than complicate.
