Backend Workshop

HackDuke 2023

Welcome to the backend workshop for HackDuke 2023! We're going to work on an API that allows users to configure weather alerts, and calls the National Weather Service's own API to fetch data.

This workshop is structured as two companion documents:

• overview slides
• practical lab

This site is available at: bit.ly/hd23be.
