19:45 Themediator Is this where I would go for help on building a RESTful API?
19:46 Tomatosoup1 mamund: thank for sharing
19:47 Tomatosoup1 Themediator: i believe so, but you have to ask specific questions
19:47 Themediator Tomatosoup1: I have no idea what I'm doing, I just had someone tell me my website I am building would work better with a RESTful API
19:47 Tomatosoup1 mamund: not really restful
19:48 Themediator I have done a bit of research, and it looks like it would be very useful to organize data in such a way
19:48 Themediator But I am not sure how to go about organizing the data structure, nor am I very sure about how to actually code such a thing
19:50 Tomatosoup1 Themediator: what language ?
19:51 Themediator Tomatosoup1: All I really know is Python
19:51 Themediator Though I could move to C or something if necissary
19:52 Tomatosoup1 Themediator: i would keep away from C in web, Python is great
19:52 Themediator excellent
19:52 Tomatosoup1 you need web framework to create rest api
19:52 Themediator What do you mean by that?
19:53 Themediator (you might have to ELI5 a lot of things, I'm very sorry)
19:53 Tomatosoup1 Themediator: have you ever made backend in python for website ?
19:53 Tomatosoup1 or generally, backend
19:54 Themediator No, my previous experience with website had no backend. It was simply PHP script to query a SQL DB on the server
19:56 Tomatosoup1 if you are interested in learing backend (rest api is basically making backend with uniform interface) i would recommend you at first to learn python web framework
19:56 Tomatosoup1 Django is most popular, and definitely worth looking at
19:57 Tomatosoup1 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial01/
19:57 Themediator Okay I guess I will take a look at this for now
19:59 Tomatosoup1 imho you should at first learn how to build website backend, and then jump to rest api
20:00 Tomatosoup1 http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/ -> this is also great django tutorial, for further questions visit #django irc channel
20:28 Themediator I'll do that. Thanks for the info Tomatosoup1

20:50 mamund Themediator: hi. just stopped in
20:51 mamund i'll suggest some reading source that might help you get a handle on the space.
20:52 mamund https://www.infoq.com/articles/rest-reading-list
20:52 mamund this is a reading list that has a wide range of stuff that i found helps people get in the groove.
20:52 mamund the first few are the important stuff. odd elements appear toward the end.
20:53 mamund the good news is most all those books are framework agnostic and will apply to just about any project you work on.
20:53 mamund also, you can use the author and book titles as search terms to pull up blogs and other articles that can expand, refute, and generally enlighten on the topic.
20:53 mamund cheers
20:55 whartung But don't read anything by the Mike guy -- it's all lies and tripe...
20:56 mamund bwahahahah! (so true!)
