Web services, service oriented architecture (SOA), SOAP, REST … what’s it all mean? Web services is a notoriously nebulous topic, both praised and maligned. In this workshop, we cut through the haze and the buzz and examine working use cases of web services and how they can improve your application design and bottom line. We’ll explore how to create services that work in harmony with the web using REST. Learn how to turn your application into a platform by creating web APIs. Both client and server side programming will be covered using technologies ranging from AJAX to Python to Java.
This workshop is designed for web application developers who are experienced in at least one web programming language (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl) and standard web technologies (HTML, XML, Javascript). Specific experience with AJAX, JSON, Ruby on Rails, REST, SOA or any particular web programming framework is not required.
Students will be provided a copy of RESTful Web Services by Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby
