Hello People,
The underlying architecture of the web is REST. Many people and
organisations try to plaster RPC style APIs over this: SOAP is the
earliest and probably still the most well-know example of this gruesome
habit. But they don't scale, and won't work. In this talk you will learn
why.
As a teaser for my talk on Thursday, here a couple of the things we are
going to cover:
1. How are you going about developing a REST application? Usually PHP
programmers create a bunch of .php programs that do the job, and
little thought is given to architecture. But if you need to develop a
clean API?
2. Always wanted to understand more about the HTTP protocol? We're
having an in-depth look at this.
3. And at HTTP caching and intermediary caches as well. How does it
work? What is the Vary header?
4. Why cookies are evil.
5. How to do REST based authentication. One of my most popular pages
explains all the details:
http://www.berenddeboer.net/rest/authentication.html
In this talk a short summary of this approach.
The level is intermediate/advanced. I won't do a lot of explaining of
the basics, but if you're interested in application design and how the
web really works, you will learn something whatever your level.

See you on Thursday,
