Description
Every Software Architect is going to design REST API these days.
REST API is the de-facto standard of the Web API world, and all the major websites are having it - Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, Google and lots and lots more.
If you're designing a web app - the developers using it will expect it to have a REST API.
But, how can you make your REST API stand out? How can you convince the API users to actually use the API, and not just take a quick look at it and go away?
In today's world, where everyone expose REST API, it's not easy to attract developers. And if no developer will come - usage and monetization will be a problem.
The key to make your API stand out is to design a well thought-of API, one that is:
1. Easy to use
2. Easy to understand
3. Consistent
4. Performant
5. Just Works
A good Software Architect must be able to design such an API. In fact, designing the API is one of the most important tasks of the Software Architect.
In this comprehensive course, you'll get all the knowledge required for designing great, professional, REST API, using the techniques used by all industry-leading APIs.
Here are some of the topics discussed in this course:
- What is API, and what is Web API
- The inner structure of REST Request and Response
- Tools that can help you simulate REST API calls, such as Postman and Beeceptor
- The special role of HTTP Verbs
- How a REST API URL should look like
- What are Response Codes and why do they matter
- How to give your API a professional looking documentation
- How to add authentication and authorization to your API
- Performance techniques to improve your API responsiveness
- Monitoring and its importance
- And lots more...
But that's not all...
At the end of this course, you'll be able to download the REST API Checklist, a comprehensive checklist that will guide you through the process of creating the most professional and attractive REST API. This checklist is your go-to-guide whenever you'll design REST API, and as a Software Architect - you'll design a lot of REST API...
This course takes you from the absolute basics of API to the most advanced topics, known only to few. Completing this course will give you all the knowledge required for building professional REST API, and, as a bonus, will put you in a great position when looking for your next job.
No other course covers this topic in such a comprehensive and thorough way. I've put all my 20+ years of experience with hundreds of clients in this course, and I'm sure you will greatly benefit of it.

If you're not sure if this course is for you - drop me a note!
------------------------------
What are the prerequisites for this course?
------------------------------
In this course we'll use tools simulating REST API server and client (Beeceptor and Postman), so no actual coding is required.
Students are expected, however, to be able to understand simple coding snippet (there are a few), and to know how the internet is working (HTTP protocol, Request / Response model, and so on).
