<h3><a name="rest">Duchess REST Workshop &#8211; InfoSupport &#8211; March 31, 2009</a></h3>
<p>We are proud to present our next workshop event on REST sponsored by <a href="http://www.infosupport.com" target="infosupport">InfoSupport</a>.<br />
REST came about as a simpler alternative to SOAP for building web services, used for integrating different systems. For example, Amazon has offered a REST API for years, while <a href="http://blog.feedly.com/2009/03/03/jsonrest-vs-xmlsoap/" target="google">Google has just announced that they are killing their SOAP API and moving to REST</a>. Come learn about REST at our hands-on workshop on March 31 at the <a href="http://www.infosupport.com/RouteHoofdkantoor" target="infosupport">InfoSupport office</a> in Veenendaal.</p>
<p><a href="http://jduchess.org/events/duchess-rest-workshop" target="duchess">Register for this event on our site</a>.<br />
Fee: 15 euro</td>
