Abstract
In this chapter, we’re going to take the Personal Finance skill that we built in the previous chapter and add the first of the asset value calculations that will tell us the value of our home and investments. Again, this skill could have its hands on a lot of our personal data, but all of that data will be safely ensconced in a secured database and encrypted for your protection. In all cases, you will have the option of using a test account and fake data for development purposes, so no REAL data need to be involved at all.

Notes
- 1.
RESTful API. REST stands for Representational State Transfer. But no one uses the long form. Almost all the documentation about REST and RESTful APIs uses the acronym.
- 2.
URL. Another acronym that has lost its meaning to history. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, but you know URLs better as simply web addresses.
- 3.
Not an actual fact. This is a made-up number to make a point. Far too many coders do not test their code sufficiently before deploying it. Don’t be that coder. Make sure your code actually works before submitting it for Alexa certification.
