There are no best practices, no recommended guidelines. The course gives an EXTREMELY brief overview of the API design, there's also hardly any information about the tools used in the course.
I can't recommend it for professionals as they won't learn anything form it, and I can't recommend it for beginners since it'll be challenging for them to figure out the tools used in the course, and there's little to no foundation for the API design best practices.
