Is no one else going to say it? This video is in Dark Mode, and that's why we love it
-
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the explanation or the fact that he wrote all this stuff backwards to our viewpoint
-
The mirror, fluorescent markers, the lightning, black background, this video looks amazing!
-
One of the best representations and explanations of this architectural pattern. REST really is straight forward if you can simply think about how the data should come and go in your app!
-
I worked as a Business Analyst on an Open Banking project - Gosh I wish this video/resource was available to me to simplify the crazy first couple of months to digest this information. Enjoyed this, very well done and simplified. Great job!
-
I was marveling at how he was writing backwards so easily, but the I realized that it's just mirrored. Dude's right handed
-
I can't help but think of the fact that he's technically writing backwards
-
This was by far one of the the simplest and at the same time, thorough enough explanations about REST Apis. Big Thanks
-
As a person who is just starting out learning about APIs and Integration...this was a goldmine. Thanks a lot!
-
Never seen such enthusiasm while explaining stuff :) GREAT!
-
This really helped clear up for me what a REST API is and how HTTP methods work. Marker squeak was a little painful but I appreciate the content.
-
Hey, Nathan Hekman , You are a wonderful presenter and you example was so précised, clear and from real world. Please keep making more content. It was a great video with great content.

Amazing video man. Understood it quickly and clearly. Loved the editing etc and the breakdown of timeline. Great work!
-
It's rare to find good quality tutorial videos. And I am saying this cause I didn't know how time flew by when you were teaching. And it didn't happen just once, multiple videos. Grateful 🙌🙌🙌
-
i have watched many videos regarding rest API, but no one explained it this much clearly.. great job 🔥
-
i made my first web app with REST weeks ago without knowing 100% of the concept. I wish i saw this video before! All i knew is that i needed to change my dependencies, make my link, make the client-server architecture and communicate with my DB with SQL commands. Great stuff!
-
For the first time in my life, I know what a REST API is! Thank you
-
Thank you! Insanely helpful and informative, simplified on a topic that is hard to simplify.
-
Probs the most straight-forward and simple intro to REST APIs. Thanks for this!

Learned web development from Jonas udemy course. And now seeing this video keeps my learned concepts fresh and improved ☺️
