API's for the Complete Beginner: Understand API's at a foundational level (Information Technology for the Complete Beginner)

Despite being well organized, this book uses terms that apply to someone with an initial knowledge of APIs. Definitely not for a beginner as I had to use Google to clarify certain topics (like what RESTs are). What this book fails to do is explain what API concepts are in layman’s terms and solid examples. You can find similar and sometimes clearer information doing a Google search on APIs.
