JavaScript React Authentication (2019) Introducing the Authentication Project What is Basic Authentication?

Confusing link

This step provides this link, but I'm wondering where it originates from. The second paragraph seems to imply that I should have read it before, but I haven't.

I guess you didn't do the Full-Stack JavaScript course. I am almost done and it was needed for the second last project.

Highly recommended to check out the REST content here on Treehouse

It's a separate guide that covers the basic concepts of authentication and is a recommended read to understand this course

Yea the link is super confusing and throws you into a track that sounds halfway done. I'd like to see it fleshed out a lot more though because I can't find any other Treehouse resources that explain how to make a REST API.

There you go, Max Green . There's quite a bit on REST-API's on Treehouse (thankfully). And IDK how you got here, but during the Full-Stack JavaScript course, you come across that workshop. Need the stuff for the 9th project as well.
