1. WHY RESTFUL
DEVELOPMENT
Representational State Transfer.

2. Web services!
Web Services can convert your applications into
Web-applications.
1. SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) /
XML-RPC => communication
2. REST => communication + standardisation

3. What is REST
1. Everything is a resource
2. REST-style architectures conventionally consist of
clients and servers.
3. Clients initiate requests to servers; servers process
requests and return appropriate responses. Requests
and responses are built around the transfer of
representations of resources.
4. A resource can be essentially any coherent and
meaningful concept that may be addressed

4. Action URL HTTP Method
However, the HTTP protocol defines eight methods, GET, POST, PUT,
DELETE, HEAD, TRACE, OPTIONS, and CONNECT. REST is concerned with
the first four of these methods, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. These are the
methods that a RESTful web application will use to manipulate resources.
● GET maps to show -> get /teams/:id
● PUT maps to update -> put /teams/:id
● DELETE maps to destroy -> delete /teams/:id
● POST is a bit of an exception, since the resource is not
yet existent thus it maps to the base /teams
