API Building Blocks
APIs are becoming the preferred data source for applications everywhere. Whether your API
is being consumed by JavaScript frontend, mobile app, or a microservice; you need
a solid foundation. With a plethora of information to sort through you can become
overwhelmed with questions: "Is this RESTful enough?" and "What the hell is HATEOAS, and
why should I care?" This talk will bring focus to the core building blocks of an API,
including: URI structure, response codes, pagination, documentation, authentication, and much more.
