RESTful Web API Design with Node.js (Video 1)

This video tutorial, led by Solid Hammadi, a senior computer science student at Georgia Tech, provides a comprehensive guide to building and consuming RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express. The course is structured into five sections, covering REST theory and practice, Twitter's REST API, developing a RESTful API server, exploring real-world APIs, and tools for high-quality API delivery. The project involves creating 'Twitter Notes', an application for posting notes on Twitter friends, with a focus on API testing and delivery processes. The course assumes JavaScript knowledge and aims to equip viewers with the skills to handle any RESTful API.
