02 - Building APIs in the Best Order
When building your API, you should think about object dependencies and build the top-level items first.
For example, your application may have the following data types:
Users
Contacts
Practice Areas
Matters (Requires Contacts and Practice Areas)
Time Entries (Requires Matters and Users)
Matter<->Contact Role Associations (Requires Contacts and Matters)
You should prioritize APIs for the items with no dependencies and work toward the items with the most dependencies.
