The Programmable Web: Dynamic Web and Its Components

Description

“The Programmable Web: Dynamic Web and Its Components” offers an essential guide to mastering modern web services and the dynamic programmable web. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the web’s intricate components, learning to effectively write web service clients and appreciate the distinct power of RESTful architectures.

This textbook thoroughly explores the Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), meticulously contrasting its efficiency with traditional “Big Web Services” paradigms. Chapters guide readers from foundational concepts, like understanding the web’s inhabitants, through advanced topics including designing and implementing both read-only and read/write resource-oriented services. By focusing on core building blocks and essential REST and ROA best practices, this resource empowers future developers to confidently navigate, design, and deploy high-performance web applications.

George Clark, based in Germany, holds a Master’s degree and is dedicated to educating the next generation of web architects. They bring extensive experience in RESTful services and resource-oriented design, making complex topics accessible for students.
