REST is a popular and elegant architectural style for building programmatic interfaces (APIs) to web applications and other types of services. Think of it as a nice way to expose your Python program other programs running on the web (or any networked environment).
This talk will provide an introductory overview of REST concepts, what makes an API RESTful, explain the benefits of designing an API in the RESTful architectural style, make a few comments about challenges, security concerns, and best practices. Also there will be a brief mention of the Python frameworks and libraries available to help with building REST APIs.
