API

I'm looking to build an API-based application. It's been a while since I've done any serious web work.

As I look into beginner API development it is becoming obvious how little I know. Apparently I've been spending too much time in the back end. It's going to take me a bit to get up to speed. Postgres was frustrating, couldn't even get a DB created. So that will be the first thing I tackle.

Ultimately my goal is a complete system of just APIs that could be used to build whatever UI a developer wants. The 'social end result could be a console app or a complex, full blown website or mobile app. Features could be included / excluded as desired. In an age where software is constantly taking away our ability to tweak and customize it, I want to go the opposite direction.
