HTTP & REST Foundations
The request/response cycle, methods, status codes, and the REST constraints. Start →
REST API Design — From Zero to Hero
A standalone, beginner→advanced course on designing RESTful HTTP APIs, taught with TypeScript. From HTTP foundations to resources, errors, pagination, caching, security, and a working Hono implementation — with examples you can run in the browser.
What you’ll learn
Section titled “What you’ll learn”Resource & URI Design
Modeling resources and naming clean, predictable URIs. Design →

Versioning & Caching
Evolving safely; Cache-Control, ETags, and conditional requests. Scale →
Security
Authn vs authz, JWT/OAuth2, CORS, rate limiting, validation. Secure →

How this course works
Section titled “How this course works”Runnable TypeScript
Run logic snippets in the browser, and open real Hono API servers in StackBlitz — endpoints you can actually call.
Diagrams that explain
Request/response cycles, resource models, and auth flows as theme-aware Mermaid diagrams.
Design, not just syntax
Every topic covers the why and the trade-offs — when to use a pattern, and when not to.
