WA1789 Designing and Developing RESTful Services

Coming
Soon

When all you have is a hammer…everything looks like a nail.  Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission.  Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.
This course explores the principles, practices, and application of REST as a software architecture methodology.  While much of the learning could be applied to any REST compatible implementation, emphasis will be placed upon the design and development of RESTful Web Services.

This hands-on course is aimed at architects and developers that want to learn how to design and develop RESTful services that fully comply with the full range of the RESTful design methodology.  Students will learn to define and work with such REST elements as resources, components, and connectors.  Furthermore, emphasis will be placed upon the definition of a REST interface and the management of multiple representations for a given resource.  All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.

WA1788 Application Development with AJAX and Web Services

Coming
Soon

Next generation web applications (i.e. “Web 2.0”) are quickly becoming the standard in web application development and interface design. Additionally, enterprises are increasingly interested in creating new Web-based services as well as harnessing data from existing ones. Some even go so far as to perform enterprise mashups of data to provide knowledge workers with new insight regarding their domain of interest.

Core skill sets for modern application development now must include AJAX, XML / XHMTL, and Web services in addition to the basic web and application development skills that have been needed for so years. Not only must these skills exist in isolation, but increasingly developers are pushed to be able to integrate and combine these skills in support of web portals and mashups.

This hands-on course is aimed at developers that want to expand their skills in AJAX and XML into the Web service and enterprise mashup arena. The course assumes knowledge and experience with basic AJAX-style programming and XML document management. A brief introduction to Web services is provided, followed by detailed coverage of consuming syndication feeds and Web services via AJAX. XML content styling and data management is also covered. All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.
