8.1: Intro to Session 8: Building an API in Node - Programming with Text

From the creator

This video introduces "Session 8: Building an API in Node" from the ITP course "Programming from A to Z". (http://shiffman.net/a2z/node-api/) In this session, I cover the basic steps for building a RESTful API with Node.js. I show you how to install the Node.js framework express how to use routes and parameters to deal with the HTTP GET requests. I also cover what it means for an API to be a REST (Representational State Transfer) API.
