Hi all,
I am totally green in terms of creating API and programming stuff, but keen very much to learn it. Do you know any places to recommend as a good start points?

Hi Marcin,
Is it for Smartsheet or in general? Below you have some info when it comes to Smartsheet.
Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

Hi Andree,
I must say: both ;].
You know, to learn how to use it with Smartsheet, I assume I have to learn how to create an API in one of coding languages etc. but which one is the best to choose? Which one is the easiest for me? I have no idea
Also, I would like to know what can I obtain by using APIs with Smartsheet, any exaples? Probably because I have no knowlegde about it, I can't see what kind of extension (in terms of scope of using Smartsheet) I can get. Or maybe it is only for highly specialized functions that I will never use?
So confused...
I'm also interested in learning API, but I don't have the time and use case to justify it. Except that it would be fun and useful to know. If that's your situation as well, I would recommend looking at other options but first, go through what you need.
There are many resources, Linkedin Learning, Skillshare, Udemy, Youtube.
Heres a great starting point and then Craig and others that are familiar with API in the community can most definitely give better resources.

We are trying to update all users’ timesheets programmatically, which will involve tens of thousands of records in total. According to the Resource Management API documentation, time entries can only be updated one at a time. Is there a way to batch update multiple records at once? If I’m not mistaken, the API rate limit…
I have just recently found use cases where I needed Bridge. I created a sheet with unpivotted data. I have a love/hate relationship with the tool for now. I really like flexibility and power, what I don't like is how difficult it is to troubleshoot and in some ways manage the workflows. Seems to be some sensitive points…
