What is a RESTful API?

A Web API is like a web service which works entirely with HTTP. A RESTful API must follow the REST (REpresentational State Transfer) practices, allowing to orientate the design to the resources, provide standard responses based on the different status codes HTTP provide and provide according to Hypermedia Links in responses.

Why Laravel?

Because Laravel is a framework made by programmers for programmers, expressive, simple, intuitive and powerful. Laravel provides useful features for web projects including RESTful APIs.

Each new Laravel version includes many changes that make this framework even better, simple, programmer friendly and at the same time much more powerful. In fact, the latest versions of Laravel included a lot of new features to help to develop RESTful APIs in the right way.

During this course, you will master the complete structure of Laravel, along with the new features included in the latest version of Laravel to develop an actual RESTful API.
