REST

Article Source

Roy Fielding helped write the first web servers that sent documents across the web
Roy Fielding is the one that precisely documented the protocol for getting pages from servers to your browser.
HTTP is like GPS for the web
The World wide web is built on an architectural style called REST.
URL’s are the representation of a concept that the web can ask for
Web Services / API’s allow computers to use the web the same as users. Meaning they use the same protocols to pass information back and forth
URL’s are considered nouns for the web
Polymorphism is a way to say that nouns can have verbs applied to them
Examples of coding verbs used on nouns are GET, DELETE, and PUT
So REST is an architectural system that uses nouns and verbs to communicate on the web.
