REST API Design Rulebook by Mark Masse
3.0

I've seen other reviews comment that this book is great if used as a reference, but strange if you read it straight through, as I did. Since it is a rather short book, I ponied up to the so called bar and went for it.

There are definite things to think about when design a REST API, but most cases the user will be using a framework such as Express of ASP.NET which will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

I'll keep a link to the ebook handy in case I have questions going forward, as a reference is the best way to use this book, not necessarily as a set of rules that must be followed explicitly.
