Learning Scala Web Development (Video 17)

The video tutorial introduces Swagger UI, a tool for exploring and documenting web services and APIs. It covers the compatibility of Swagger UI with various browsers, methods for distributing it, and how to run it with a book catalog application. The tutorial highlights Swagger UI's features, such as providing complete API documentation and allowing live API testing. It concludes with a brief introduction to test-driven development (TDD) and its importance in developing a test suite for web services.
