The article “What Is a REST API?
Examples, Uses, and Challenges”, published on the Postman blog, provides an
accessible overview of REST APIs. Rest Api works as a backbone in modern web
communication. It explains that a REST API (Representational State Transfer) is
a standardized way for systems to exchange data over the web using common HTTP
methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. It briefly explains the history of
the rest api and the comparing to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) api
which required strict message formatting and heavier data exchange while REST api
emerged as a lighter and more flexible architectural style built on standard
HTTP methods. The piece also informs best practices for using REST api like using
correct HTTP status codes, providing helpful error messages, enforcing security
through HTTPS and tokens, In the end, the article shows real-world examples
from well-known platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Amazon S3, and Plaid,
showing how REST APIs are used at scale in everyday applications.

As a software developer trying to be a
full stack developer, api calls were one of my weakest points since I am
struggling to understand how to use it effectively even though I tried to use
it in many areas. I had to ensure that I have a strong, up-to-date conceptual
foundation of what REST APIs are and how they are designed and used in practice
as I use. Since Postman is one of the leading platforms in the API ecosystem,
its educational resources provide an excellent reference point for gaining both
theoretical and practical understanding of how REST APIs work in real-world
development.

Even though the article was long , with YouTube
videos and hard time to understand everything, this article with postman helped
me to better understand the history and the usage of the rest api and its real-world
use compared to before. I learned that REST is not a technology or tool but an
architectural style that enforces clear separation between client and server,
promotes scalability, and ensures that each request carries all necessary
information. Later I plan to use this information to carefully use api as I plan
to create my own REST api endpoints that provide access to datasets and user
submissions while documenting things well unlike before. Ultimately, my goal is
to become comfortable enough with APIs that I can architect entire applications

The blog
post, UML Diagrams – Everything You Need to Know to Improve Team Collaboration,
provides a clear explanation of Unified Modeling Language(UML) Diagram, its
usage and types ending with how it helps to visualize the project. Starting
off, the blog covers the usage of UML diagrams, continuing with its key uses,
forward design, modeling before coding to plan a system, and backward design, modeling
after coding to document a finished system. Also, it covers the thirteen UML diagram
types and what each type shows and describes what each type represents and how
it contributes to visualizing processes effectively.

I chose this
article as it summarizes clearly what the UML diagram, its usage, how the UML
diagram can be used to collaborate with other teammates. First was that since
the class, I felt that I needed to understand UML diagrams better as I still
did not get what use does it has. The fact that it emphasizes UML diagram as
white board for building and analyzing the system the team gave me some reason
for understanding more about UML diagram. Not only that, but the article also
clearly goes in-depth about the UML diagram that goes way in depth compared to
the course of behavioral and structural diagrams and how they can fit together
in real-world workflows. Overall, this blog clarified how UML diagrams support
collaboration as a visual tools to help team members to see and discuss system
structures and behaviors. It made me view UML not just as an academic
requirement but as a practical communication tool that can strengthen teamwork
in future software projects.

           After
looking at the article and learning more about UML diagram, I felt like even
though it might not be perfect, that I might have to use it for future use. When
coding I have something on my mind to create, but when trying to explain it or comment
on the structure of the code. Sometimes others don’t understand or sometimes I cannot
remember why I did that later. Not only that, but the rough draft of the
structure can also be used when talking with other teammates because I cannot
do everything by myself and we need to see the same picture, and I think UML diagram
will be the virtual whiteboard for it.
