Delete operation

• HTTP method: DELETE
• URI: /{resource}/{resource_id}
• Result: This should delete the resource based on the resource ID in the URI

If you feel overwhelmed at the moment, don't worry, because right now we have just seen which combination of HTTP method and URI is used for which operations. Shortly, we will discuss a case study and will see some operations on different resources along with examples.

Before anything else, since we now know about RESTful web services and how they work, it's a good time to understand why we prefer to use RESTful web services over other web services.
