This was a great refresher for people who have already learned about REST, but might be out of practice, like I was. What I really loved and what I think differentiates this course from a lot of the others, this instructor really does understand what testing is. He talks about testing risks and walks through some exploratory testing ideas to learn about the API under test. This lets me know that he remains relevant and up-to-date with industry shirts.
