Track Summary
Welcome to the future: the world where the API rules all. Fortunately, our tools have never been better. Unfortunately - and surprisingly - building a RESTful API can be really tough. But in the future, we won't let that stop us.
This series is all about uncovering and unpacking the strange world of REST and building real-world apps. This means status codes, request and response headers, HTTP methods, serialization, testing and an endless path of buzzwords like HATEOAS, idempotency and hypermedia. And honestly, some of these will be more land-mines than useful tools along our path.
Since building RESTful API's are the future, consider this track an investment in yourself: your opportunity to not just get by, but to really master this growing world.
