REST Workshop

REST API workshop

We held our first internal workshop today on REST APIs.

The video and slides are below and a link to the apiary.io discussion project can be found here.

What is REST?

tl;dr

GET     /users              ->  index
GET     /users/new          ->  new
POST    /users              ->  create
GET     /users/:user        ->  show
PUT     /users/:user        ->  update
DELETE  /users/:user        ->  destroy

Convention Not Standard

Why this convention?

What’s the best way to learn?

REST.next or Hypermedia

REST doesn’t work for everything
