Let's Have Some Effective REST

Explore effective REST API design in this 46-minute Devoxx conference talk. Learn to plan and model APIs using six REST design constraints for improved architecture. Identify system users and their activities, paper test designs, and delve into HTTP concepts. Discover three API addition approaches, modeling tips, method creation and grouping, activity-to-verb mapping, and API validation. Examine HTTP headers, response codes, caching strategies, layered systems, uniform interfaces, security measures, versioning techniques, deprecation handling, optimization methods, and documentation best practices. Gain valuable insights to build robust, user-friendly RESTful APIs for website development.
