In The Brain of Brian Sletten: Hypermedia: Not an Afterthought
Event Info
Description
Hypermedia: Not an Afterthought
Hypermedia isn't an afterthought. It's one of the most important concepts in building REST systems.
While it is possible to build RESTish systems without using this
infamous constraint, you should really make sure you know what you are
giving up when you do it. You should also understand why systems that
don't involve Hypermedia aren't "REST". The goal isn't to be compliant
with some priggish definition. The goal is to build systems that
demonstrate the properties that all of the constraints entail. We will
review the idea behind this least understood part of REST design and
hopefully remind you that you probably do already get it.
Brian will also be giving away one copy of Mike Amundsen's Building Hypermedia APIs with HTML5 and Node from O'Reilly Media.
