Most beginners can follow a tutorial to make an endpoint, but they often struggle to build a system that is predictable, secure, and scalable. In this session, I leverage my 8 years of experience in high-stakes sectors like Fintech and Cybersecurity to teach the fundamentals of RESTful APIs. We move beyond basic 'Hello World' examples to focus on the 'Senior' habits every beginner should start with: meaningful status codes, robust input validation, and the 'contract' between client and server. Attendees will leave not just with a working API, but with a professional mental model for backend architecture.
