Design an HTTP API
Objectives
- Master: REST
- Master: status codes
- Master: JSON
Lesson
This lesson is part of the year-long Code Academy Alfred path. Goal: understand REST, status codes, JSON in real web / mobile-web design conditions.
Practice immediately: rebuild the example, then change it. Memory comes from active repetition, not passive reading.
If you get stuck, use Cursor with a precise prompt (context + goal + constraints), then explain the generated diff yourself.
