What you should know

- [Instructor] Before we start learning about Postman it's important to have at least a basic understanding of HTTP requests including HTTP verbs, URL structure, query string parameters, request headers, and cookies. Although these are not the focus of the course virtually all of them will enter our discussion of using Postman effectively. Having a solid basic understanding of the role these concepts play within HTTP requests will greatly improve your experience. If you need a refresher on any of these, you can find a number of videos in the library. I recommend the HTTP Essential Training course in particular. HTTP Essential Training provides a fantastic overview of HTTP and it's more than sufficient to prepare you for anything you might encounter when using Postman. This course also includes a sample API which is used for all examples and exercises. Although it is implemented as a Node.js application no special knowledge of Node.js is required beyond being able to run the application from a terminal window.
