Implementing RESTful Web Services

About this Presentation

RESTful web services have become the preferred approach to synchronously integrating heterogeneous systems. The architectural style’s success is due in large part to its simplicity. Furthermore, REST is based on a small set of widely accepted standards, such as HTTP and XML and requires far fewer development steps, toolkits and execution engines than conventional SOAP web services.

In this session, I will cover the key concepts behind REST and walk through the process of designing, implementing and testing RESTful web services. In addition, I will present web service demos based on several popular RESTful frameworks including RESTlet, Spring MVC, and NetKernel.
