This presentation provides lessons learnt using web APIs and composable services to build a database server and its testing infrastructure. In the mid-2000s I was using the web as a platform for building and integrating enterprise apps. This led to my co-authoring ‘REST in Practice’, a guide to applying web …
This BOF is a lively discussion comparing SOAP, REST, and WebSocket architectures, asking questions such as when to use which? Should SOAP and/or REST be used in a complementary way where request/response are handled with SOAP and/or REST/XHR and push/pubsub/broadcast are provided by WebSocket?
One of the questions we get asked the most by developers and architects is: when and why would I use OAuth2? The answer, as often with such questions, is “it depends”, but there are some features of OAuth2 that make it compelling in some situations, especially in systems composed of …
The rise of mobile and the diversity of its technologies make exposing a RESTful API the most crucial capability of any application and the key to its success. In the absence of widely adopted best practices and well-defined conventions, designing such an API is nothing but trivial. This presentation introduces …
Learn how to structure web applications by using the good old Model-View-Controller pattern in the browser rather than on the server. You’ll learn how to build models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich APIs and views with declarative event handling. You’ll also learn how to connect …
This video shows how to implement business workflows and common patterns like event-driven computing. We’ll see how many common-sense distributed systems principles and best practices are inverted as we design to increase surface area, scale, improve availability and compose services.
