about the subject

Building reliable APIs has become one of the most lucrative skills you can learn as a developer—and that means learning REST. REST architecture is the de facto choice for modern APIs, thanks to its flexibility, scalability, and small bandwidth demands. If you’ve ever been left puzzling over how REST APIs work, what components you need to create them, or how to start building them using Node.js, this is the course for you.

about the video

Mastering REST APIs in Node.js: Zero To Hero takes you from the very basics of REST APIs, from REST’s architecture and HTTP methods, to adding relational database and/or NoSQL support. After you’ve grasped the essentials, you’ll delve into advanced topics such as covering authentication via tokens, and the cutting-edge GraphQL query language. As an added bonus the final section of the course takes you through implementing the REST API in an example login page application, including setting authentication for users.
