Summary
In this chapter, we learned what REST is, its advantages, how to create Flask RESTful Web Services and APIs, and how to use Flask-RESTless to make the whole thing work well. We also had an overview on what jQuery is and how to use it to send Ajax requests to consult our services. These chapter examples were pretty intense. Try to code the examples yourself, to assimilate them better.
In the next chapter, we'll be talking about the one way in which you can assure software quality: tests! We'll learn how to test our Web applications in the many ways that they may be tested and how to integrate these tests into our very coding routines. See you there!
