How to interface with a server / api / database

catarak commented 4 years ago

I added using Postman to the Week 3 curriculum in our README. Maybe we can say what cURL is (since it's used in a lot of API documentation), but I honestly never use it because I can never remember the syntax without looking it up.

@catarak - you're totally right. CURL is great for quick tests, but I also struggle to remember all the right flags, etc.

Maybe we can have a cURL cheatsheet in case peeps want to give it a try (and for our own sakes!) but focus on Postman usage for testing.

Hey @catarak - just fyi, I'm just jamming on the curl cheatsheet. Should be done shortly! :)

joeyklee commented 4 years ago

Done!

See guides/curl-cheatsheet.md

p.s. Opening a separate guide for postman
