Just wanted to thank you for creating this video in a very "human-friendly" way! I hope you have the opportunity to create more of these as I learned a lot in the 8:53 you put into this. THANKS!
This video is amazing. I've Googled this tons of times and have read numerous descriptions. This video made it very concise what REST is using those examples. Thank you very much!!
Wow brother, YOUR CONTENT IS AMAZING!!! Concept + Real Examples = WIN !!! I have seen some Harvard University videos and thats exactly how they teach it, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Your content is absolutely excellent. I very much appreciate your videos and am learning a lot from them. I just wanted to give you some tips, as a web developer myself, but someone who spent 5 years as a teacher. Your videos are very well structured, however I feel that you, at some points, are speaking too fast. I'm not sure what audience you are going for, but if you would like to include absolute or near total beginners, you'll want to have a lot more pauses, more titles and subtitles, slower speech, and more explanation of basic, albeit technical, terminology. By the time someone watches this video, you might assume someone wanting to learn about RESTful API's might know what a simple GET request is, but that is not necessarily so. In any case, thank you so much for your wonderful videos jam packed with excellent content!
+Joseph E. Flack IV Thank you for the feedback and for checking out the videos. When I was first learning web development everything was such an inaccessible black box it was difficult to know where to begin. My goal with these videos was to give just enough context so beginners know what to google if they are interested in learning more without diving so deep that their eyes glaze over. It's a tough balance to strike and I know I move to fast sometimes.
+WebConcepts Regardless of what I said, the videos are great. I love the energy. It is very rare to find good videos like this on REST or building a web app utilizing web services. I'll be watching and re-watching your videos ^_^
+Joseph E. Flack IV i think in a classroom situation the pauses and speaking slower is a valid point. But as this is youtube and a person can just go back a few secconds and listen again as long as the speaker is clear. +Webconcepts thanks very much for this video, i wish i had found it a month ago when i was doing my first api work
This is awesome. Thanks so much for making these videos. You've helped to demystify REST APIs for me as I was getting more and more confused by other sources.
Thank you very much! I knew what is REST all about, but I had a lot of trouble to plain it, even understanding it. Now you made it mucher clear in my mind, this examples are really straight forward!
Very cool. Maybe you should mention though that not all findable data is free to use. For example Instagram's warning "You cannot use the Instagram API to crawl or store users' media without their express consent." Kinda hard to mashup location-based images without crawling and storing.
Transportia you raise a good point. These public API's are governed by Terms of Service which you should always abide by. If you violate the TOS the API provider may shut down your application or bring legal action against you. However, I would argue that the use case I presented does not violate the TOS you cited. I'm not storing the images, rather I'm loading them from instagram's servers. Additionally, I'm not crawling the user's content as I'm not saving any of the user's information.
The geocode implications are very scary though. There is still so much untouched potential in our technology that 99% of the population are completely unaware of.
this shit was clear and understandable.. and fucking approachable. so much of this REST shit is boring as fuck.. thanks for making it visual and interesting
Wow this video was amazing. Great insight, I followed along with all the APIs. The only issue was the tweet, it would have been awesome if you showed how to get the token id/secret and where to put it in the postman extension. Thanks :)
This is just what I was looking for ...simple and precise explanation of a REST API ... thank you ***** so much. Looking forward to some more great web concept videos :)
Hey! Make more videos! This was the best explanation of what an API was on the inter -webs. Keep up the good work! Think you can do a quick walk thru of creating a web app with api? Say like mashing up the Instagram api with Soundcloud or something else?
I have watched a BUNCH of videos on this subject and this was the best one by far. THANK YOU!
This is seriously the best intro video to APIs ever. Perfectly clear. Thank you so so so much! Keep up the good work.
Thank you.. u covered a hell lot of information in Human language.. Keep doing more..

I used to run away from the word REST...now i understand it. Much thanks
Short...simple...informative...this video should be a template for anyone who wants to create a tutorial!
this is a great video, going from concepts to live examples greatly increases its educational value. I use it in my classes now.
Quite possibly the most helpful explanation of a REST API I've ever seen. Bravo!
finally someone explaining how to use REST many thanks you don't know how long I've been searching for a video like this.

*I had a lot of trouble to explain it
This was excellently organized. Thank you
Great videos. Although you talk fast, it is actually good for those of us who are technical and don't need someone to over simplify things.
Very cool. Maybe you should mention though that not all findable data is free to use. For example Instagram's warning "You cannot use the Instagram API to crawl or store users' media without their express consent." Kinda hard to mashup location-based images without crawling and storing.

This is a great video that goes over alot of terms you hear but maybe are not sure what they are, great job!
