Get an overview of what we'll be doing in "Streaming Data on the Net."
[MUSIC]
0:00
Now that we know how to use streams and
serialization,
0:04
we can use our new knowledge to send and
receive data on the Internet.
0:07
This is where serialization
is especially helpful,
0:12
because we can take our objects, package
them up, and send them to somewhere else.
0:15
We can also ask for
the data on rapid by deserializing and
0:19
then use it in our program.
0:23
There are lots of APIs available on
the web for us to play around with.
0:24
In this series of videos,
0:29
we'll be using a couple of web APIs
from Microsoft's Cognitive Services.
0:31
Most web APIs these days require some kind
of authentication to prevent people from
0:36
firing off millions of requests and
bogging down their servers.
0:40
So, to follow along,
you'll need to sign up for
0:44
a free Microsoft account
if you haven't already.
0:46
Then we'll need to get API keys for
use with our web requests.
0:49
Instructions to do this
are included in the notes.
