So you think to yourself: How do I get around this? Enter API mocking!!
Internship
I am pleased to share that I will be starting my internship at Bodastage Solutions, and it will be running for at least 8 weeks. I will be documenting my progress over that time and providing a status update at the end of every week, most importantly the different challenges I face and how to fix them. I hope that at the end of it all, this internship will turn out to be a wonderful experience.
