This course will teach you the basics of how to build a RESTful API using Express.
An API is a set of rules that define how applications communicate with each other. A REST API is one that follows the design principles of REST. In this course, Build a REST API with Node and Express, you’ll learn to build a simple API as a solid foundation toward more complex, real world API services. First, you’ll explore REST API architecture and how it differs from server-side rendered applications. Next, you’ll discover how to plan, create, and structure API endpoints. Finally, you’ll learn how to structure your application as it grows larger and more complex. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Node.js, Express and RESTful APIs needed to create APIs that can power various applications and services.
