 This is a practice repository following [Test Driven Development of a Django RESTful API](https://realpython.com/test-driven-development-of-a-django-restful-api/)
 
+## RESTful Structure
+
+In a RESTful API, endpoints (URLs) define the structure of the API and how end users access data from our application using the HTTP methods - GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. Endpoints should be logically organized around collections and elements, both of which are resources.
+
+In our case, we have one single resource, puppies, so we will use the following URLS - /puppies/ and /puppies/<id> for collections and elements, respectively
+
+## Routes and TDD
+
+Process for development:
+1. Create skeleton code that doomed to fail
+2. Add a unit test for failure
+3. Update the code to make it pass the test.
