Overview
Welcome to the practical section, where we will build a Twitter-like REST API from scratch. This project serves a dual purpose: You will have the opportunity to revise everything you've learned in this course and create a real-world application to add to your portfolio.
🎯 The Purpose of the API
We will construct a simplified social networking platform that mimics the core functionalities of Twitter. By the end of this project, your app will boast the following features:
- Create New Posts: Users can compose and publish new posts or tweets;
- Update Posts: It's possible to make edits or alterations to existing posts;
- Read All Posts: Users can browse and view all the posts in the app;
- Read Specific Posts: Access a specific post by searching for it using a unique identifier;
- Delete Posts: If a post was created mistakenly or needs removal, users can delete it.
