Rockford Dev October Meetup - REST API Design

Hey Rockford devs, come hang out at our Software Developers Meetup to chat code, network, and learn from each other!
About this Event

The Rockford Dev October Meetup is just around the corner! The month's event will take place on Wednesday, October 21st at 6:00 PM at Maker Lab in the Rockford Public Library.

This month we’ll go over the fundamentals of designing REST APIs: structuring resources and URLs, using HTTP methods and status codes correctly, handling errors, and planning for versioning and pagination. We'll also go over how authentication and authorization fit into the design process, including when to use API keys, sessions, or OAuth. We’ll also look at how AI agents interact with REST APIs and how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) compares.
