Presentation: "Getting Things Done with REST"

Time: Thursday 15:35 - 16:35

Location: Henry Moore Room, Fourth Floor

Abstract:

A hypermedia system is the partial application of networked data to a client or end user goal; a hypermedia client is one that is capable of applying HTTP's uniform interface to operate links and forms in pursuit of an application goal.

In this session we'll look at the implementation of a hypermedia-driven web application, with particular emphasis on testing discrete parts of a workflow, and building clients that can be guided on the fly to complete their application goals.
