Abstract
Thus far, you’ve learned some basic principles of the REST architecture using the HTTP protocol, and you’re now ready to start developing your task-management service.

This design step is important, similar in kind to the importance of patiently and intentionally modeling a database. It pays to think it through and get it right. And, as you walk through the different resource types, you’ll begin examining some code.
