Understanding Network Ports and Their Role in Web Services

Network ports are numeric endpoints that let operating systems direct traffic to the correct service, with standard values like 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, 22 for SSH, and others such as 3306 for MySQL, enabling developers to configure custom ports while browsers often hide these defaults for user convenience.

What Is a RESTful API? Design Principles, Implementation Guidelines, and Common Pitfalls

A RESTful API is an HTTP‑based design that treats each resource as a URI, uses standard verbs (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) for CRUD operations, returns appropriate status codes, supports content negotiation, versioned secure endpoints, clear noun‑based naming, pagination, filtering, HATEOAS links, and avoids embedding actions or verbs in URLs.
