"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add,but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"One person's syntax is another person's semantics." -- Joseph Goguen

"Ugly programs are like ugly suspension bridges: they're much more liable to collapse than pretty ones, because the way humans (especially engineer-humans) perceive beauty is intimately related to our ability to process and understand complexity. A language that makes it hard to write elegant code makes it hard to write good code." - Eric S. Raymond

"It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than to have 10 functions operate on 10 data structures." - Alan J. Perlis

"Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible." - Alan Kay

Examples of RESTful API calls for E-commerce platforms

These examples are type 3 RESTful API requests and responses. The JSON-HAL specification is used to implement HATEOAS.

Some of the examples are based on my work as architect of the RESTful API at http://www.hautelook.com. All proprietary information has been removed.

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
	# to learn SOOOO much more.
