ABOUT THIS COURSE

Braintree is a payment service provider owned by PayPal. It allows you to accept online payments from customers in your applications by providing you with client-side and server-side Software Development Kits (SDKs). This course explains Braintree APIs to create a transaction. The client SDK provides tools and techniques to securely collect payment information, while the server SDK consists of tools to enable secure processing of the collected payment information. You will learn both the client-side and server-side implementations in detail. After that, the course will provide hands-on experience of creating a transaction using Braintree APIs. Finally, you will interact with a demo Fruit Buying application written in React that accepts payments using the Braintree gateway.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
