What Google Learned About Teams 1-measuring nearly every aspect of its employees’ lives

2-Project Aristotle (study hundreds of Google’s teams and figure out why some stumbled while others soared) understanding and influencing group norms were the keys to improving Google’s teams.

How I explained REST to my brother

1- Who is Roy Fielding?

He helped write the first web servers, that sent documents across the internet… and then he did a ton of research explaining why the web works the way it does. His name is on the specification for the protocol that is used to get pages from servers to your browser.

2- Why don’t the techniques that we use today work well when we need to be able to talk to all of the machines in the world?

Because they weren’t designed to be used like that.

3- What is the HTTP protocol that Fielding and his friends created?

is all about applying verbs to nouns. For instance, when you go to a web page, the browser does an HTTP GET on the URL you typed in and back comes a web page

4- What does a GET do? you go to a web page, the browser does an HTTP GET on the URL you typed in and back comes a web page.

5-What does a POST do?

for

6- What does PUT do? to do a partial update,

7- What does PATCH do?
