twitterproject's Issues

Project Feedback!

Congratulations on finishing the Twitter assignment! Twitter is an example of a RESTful API, and they generally follow the same pattern. It might be interesting to look at other APIs like Yelp, Foursquare, Google, etc. In a company (or your own app), you'll probably be working with a private API, but it'll also be structured like the Twitter API.

• Read more about HTTP requests. The most relevant parts for now are understanding the difference between GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, and understanding how HTTP caching works.

Check out the assignment grading page for a breakdown of how submissions are scored.

If you have any technical questions about the project or concepts covered this week, post a question on our Discussions Forum and mark the question as type, "Curiosity". For general questions email us at, [email protected].
