In this chapter, we covered the very basics of the REST protocol and what verbs are available in the protocol. We saw that every single resource inside our DocumentDB can be referenced by a unique URI. This URI is the basis for executing REST-based queries against our databases, collections, documents, and all other available resources. We wrote some C# code in order to generate the authorization key that is needed for every REST request. Finally, we fired some REST queries against our DocumentDB to get a list of all the databases and how to create a document inside a collection. We used C# and we saw the raw HTTP representations of the same queries inside Fiddler.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to use Node.js to perform a subset of the activities from this chapter. The focus will be on how to use DocumentDB from Node.js to kick-start your Node.js projects.
