Final Words

Hopefully you actually read this book and didn't just skip to the final chapter XD.

If you've read this book thoroughly, then you would by now have a pretty good understanding of REST and what it means for an API to be truly RESTful.

You now know some of the "best practices" and guidelines that can be followed and hopefully you will use and apply those guidelines in your next project.

You should also know how to structure your Node.js application with a layered architecture approach and have a nifty little 8 step recipe by your side to aid you in planning any future RESTful API endpoints.

To all the readers, take what you learned from this book and try NOT to give your boss, your CTO, and your client all a near death heart attack.
