Fullstack Sinatra

Field Trips / Speakers!

On Thursday, we have the following events:

• 2pm in Classroom 1: State of Tech from https://www.illinoistech.org
• 4pm: Field Trip to Razorfish Chicago

Before we build some full stack servers, let's review some HTTP!

REST

Is a standard to work with APIs and other data sources.

• GET items
• GET items by an ID
• POST to CREATE a new item
• UPDATE an item by an ID
• DELETE an item by ID

We call this...

CRUD

• Create
• Read
• Update
• Destroy

HTTP Verbs

• GET - a web request that allows us to ... GET something
• POST - a web request to send something to POST (like Postal Service) -> sending something off!
• PUT or PATCH - a web request designed for updating things
• DELETE - a web request.... DESTROYSSSS!!! GODZILLA!!! ROAR

HTTP Status Codes

• 404 - Not found
• 403 - Forbidden (aka your passwords sucks or is wrong or whatever)
• 500 - OH SH.... code or server broke!!!!
• 200 - OK - everything is good, everything loaded, f--- yeaaaa :)
