The internet. It's all around us. Today, we pull back the curtain on how to connect data through APIs. The thing that makes the thing you put into one thing, go into the other thing that you want it to go into. Or something like that.
If you make it through to the end of this one, hit us up for a prize. We may or may not try hitting free public APIs at the end like KanyeRest, BoredAPI & Agify (predict age based on your name).

Nocode is a silly word. It gets the point across, sort of, but why is it a term we should care about? What's the real win here and why should you care? We cover that and a share a few stories on this episode of AutomationTown.

Imagine this...you're at your job and it's time to do that one thing you absolutely despise. So you start working on it and immediately start wishing the computer would do it for you.
Like, "Why do I have to do this?"
There's got to be a better way.
No more click this, click that, over and over again. Somehow, it's just done for you.
That's what this podcast is trying to do.
Give you a seat at the table as we discuss ways to automate and eliminate the things we want to forget about at work.
If you make it to the end of the trailer, let us know what you think on Twitter (@AutomationTown).
We know 4 minutes is a lot, so thank you.
