Duchess REST Workshop – InfoSupport – March 31, 2009

We are proud to present our next workshop event on REST sponsored by InfoSupport.
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 Google has just announced that they are killing their SOAP API and moving to REST. Come learn about REST at our hands-on workshop on March 31 at the InfoSupport office in Veenendaal.

Fee: 15 euro

Postponed until further notice

We are proud to present our next workshop event on REST sponsored by InfoSupport.
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 Google has just announced that they are killing their SOAP API and moving to REST. Come learn about REST at our hands-on workshop.

Duchess REST Workshop
The next Duchess event is a REST workshop, presented by Paul Bakker of InfoSupport.

REST is one of those subjects that everybody seems to be talking about, while many don’t actually know what it is and how it works. In this presentation they will give an introduction on the concepts behind RESTful web services, and will explain what the differences are with traditional, RPC-like, web services, and they will look into the advantages of REST. After talking about the basic concepts of RESTful web services, they will look into how to develop services according to a Resource Oriented Architecture, an architecture based on RESTful web services. Of course there will be many code examples. They will also pay attention to JAX-RS, the new API that will be part of Java EE 6, which offers possibilities to develop RESTful web services on the Java platform.

Required knowledge: This presentation is aimed at Enterprise Java developers with knowledge and/or experience with web development. REST will be introduced from the basis, so no prior knowledge is required.

Location: InfoSupport Veenendaal
Dinner: 18:00
Start presentation: 19:00
End presentation: ca. 21:00

Duchess REST Workshop
Het volgende Duchess evenement komt er weer aan. Ditmaal is het onderwerp REST, gepresenteerd door Paul Bakker van InfoSupport.

REST is nou typisch zo’n onderwerp waar iedereen het over lijkt te hebben, terwijl velen eigenlijk niet weten wat het is en hoe het werkt. In deze presentatie wordt een inleiding gegeven op het concept achter RESTful web services, wordt er uitgelegd wat de verschillen zijn met traditionele, RPC-achtige, web services en wordt er gekeken naar wat de voordelen eigenlijk zijn van REST. Nadat de basis concepten van RESTful web services zijn besproken wordt er gekeken naar hoe je services kunt ontwikkelen volgens een Resource Oriented Architecture, een architectuur gebaseerd op RESTful web services. Natuurlijk met volop code voorbeelden. Ook wordt er aandacht besteed aan JAX-RS, de nieuwe API die onderdeel van Java EE 6 zal zijn en mogelijkheden biedt om RESTful web services op het Java platform te ontwikkelen.

Voorkennis: Deze presentatie is gericht op Enterprise Java ontwikkelaars die kennis en/of ervaring hebben met web development. REST wordt vanaf de basis geïntroduceerd, voorkennis van REST is daarom niet nodig.
