Science and Technology for the Community Training in Building Professional REST API Services using Laravel at SMKN 64 East Jakarta

Abstract

The training programme titled "Building Professional REST API Services Using Laravel" at SMKN 64 East Jakarta is a collaboration between lecturers from Mohammad Husni Thamrin University, Jakarta, and the educational institution. The partner in this programme is SMKN 64 East Jakarta, which faces the challenge of enhancing students' competence in programming and web-based application development. The issues encountered by the partner include students' limited understanding of REST API technology and the Laravel framework, both of which are critical skills in the industrial sector. The proposed solution is to deliver an intensive training programme that combines theory with practical, hands-on experience, enabling students to master the concepts and techniques of REST API development using Laravel. The expected outcomes of this training are an improvement in students' abilities to design and implement REST API services, as well as the creation of a final project in the form of a publicly accessible application. The methods employed will include lectures, case studies, and hands-on training, all of which aim to provide participants with both a deep understanding and practical experience.Thus, this programme is expected not only to enhance students' skills but also to prepare them for the challenges of an increasingly competitive job market.
