This presentation gives a high level concepts and more of code to take a stab at developing a simple Restful server. I targeted people who would like to build a simple RESTFul server from scratch and experiment.
This slide show is from my presentation on what JSON and REST are. It aims to provide a number of talking points by comparing apples and oranges (JSON vs. XML and REST vs. web services).
Overview of REST web service concepts (Representational State Transfer).
REST is a radically different approach for web services compared to the combo SOAP/WSDL.
REST defines an architectural style for web applications and web services.
REST makes heavy use of the underlying HTTP protocol.
REST itself is not a protocol but defines architectural principles based on the concept of addressable resources and a uniform access to these resources based on the well-known HTTP-methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.
The state of a client (web service consumer) is controlled by the REST web service through connected links between resources (resource oriented architecture). The client state however is stored on the client itself thus greatly increasing scalability of REST-based architectures.
The REST paradigm has mostly superseded SOAP / WSDL type web services in many enterprise applications. This is largely owed to the fact that the underlying HTTP protocol is well understood and proved its scalability in the WWW.
An introduction to REST and RESTful web services.
You can take the course below to learn about REST & RESTful web services.

Arcadian Learning a Team of 50 Year industrial Expertise provide professional Training in Java Development. Spring Framework provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise level Web Applications and Web Services - on any kind of deployment platform.
A RESTful API is only truly RESTful if it uses hypermedia to tell us about all the actions that can be performed on the curent resource, allowing us to traverse the API from a single entry point.
His session looks at REST and HATEOAS (Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State) to illustrate good service structure. Ben will use the RESTful file sharing service fdrop.it to illustrate the various examples of how this can be used.
This session is recommended for architects and senior developers alike and will give a good grounding in writing excellent, self-explanatory RESTful services.

The presentation discusses the basic REST principles and how to define a RESTful API.
The presentation then looks at the various facilities provided by JAX-RS for developing REST API using Java.
All the supported annotations and its usage are discussed with example
RESTful Architecture is effectively an implementation of Resource-Oriented architecture (ROA). ROA - is a good fit for Service oriented Architecture (SOA) implementation. Check out KickStartPros approach on RESTful API Design.
* REST = REpresentational State Transfer
* REST is Resource Based Representation. REST identifies things by JSON or XML & URIs.
* REST behavior/actions are identified by HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
* Using Uniform Interface Architecture with REST you can decouple Client (like Browser/Android App/iOS App) and Server.
* REST using Layered System and Cacheable Architecture gives better performance.

Best practices and advantages of REST APIsAparna Sharma
In this article, I am going to share the best practices and the advantages of REST APIs, as I am working with a team on a REST-based web application. Newsdata.io news API is a REST-based API that fetches news data from thousands of news websites in JSON format. Therefore, I have a basic understanding of REST APIs that I am going to share with you.
By making your site accessible, you'll get a better understanding of HTML semantics, an increased audience reach, Google will reward you... and you will become good looking, admired by your peers, and be the most interesting person in the room.
Like JavaScript, there is a tendency to learn CSS using the View Source technique. This high level overview will focus on what you should do and what you should not do - providing enough CSS knowledge to be dangerous!
This presentation will show the latest Web Components technologies and examples, and whether you should be using Web Components now. (spoiler alert: you should be!)
With great power, comes great responsive-ability web design.
Responsive web design (RWD) will be demystified. Believe it or not, it's more than just media queries, although those will be discussed. It starts with proper UI design and application architecture, and then the dive into CSS - but not too deep! You don't have to be an expert to do RWD, but it helps to have some idea of what you are doing.
Improperly architected applications may work, may perform well, and may meet the acceptance criteria, but the ability to maintain them degrades over time. This presentation will show some of the common mistakes made when building large web applications, how to be aware of them, correct them, and hopefully prevent them.
MVC JavaScript libraries are the hot trendiness right now, and this gives a brief overview of all of the most popular, as well as what exactly is MVC, MVVM, MVP, what they do, and why, or if, we need them.

Dojo has Video and Audio and GFX, so it must be HTML5 compliant, no? Not so fast! We'll look over some core pieces and grade Dojo on how well it holds up!
Especially in small companies, you're often expected to be the end-to-end developer and handle everything from the database to the user interface. This was easy enough in the old days when the UI was little more than a table-based-layout with some sliced graphics. But now with the latest technologies, the front end is becoming just as complex as the back end. In order to get the job done you need to rely more and more upon an ever growing, endless mountain of JavaScript libraries, plugins and boilerplates. Or maybe... you just need a front end developer.
A little insight into standards bodies bickering and politics. Is HTML5 is dead? What about that logo? Are we to refer to it as “HTML5″ as the WC3 says or “HTML” as the WHATWG says? When will it be ready? How can we work with no version number?
Are the rumors greatly exaggerated or is HTML5 is dead? What about that logo? Are we to refer to it as "HTML5" as the WC3 says or "HTML" as the WHATWG says? If it's HTML5, when will it be ready? If it's HTML, how can we work to a specification with no version number? A little insight into standards bodies bickering and politics.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. What is an API?
From Wikipedia:
An application programming interface (API)
is a particular set of rules and specifications
that a software program can follow to access
and make use of the services and resources
provided by another software program that
implements the API.
4. What is an API?
Wikipedia continues:
It serves as an interface between different
software programs and facilitates their
interaction, similar to the way the user
interface facilitates interaction between
humans and computers.
5. What is an API?
Our understanding:
Set of rules and specifications to facilitate
the interaction between different software
programs.
8. XML-RPC
xmlrpc.com
It’s remote procedure calling using HTTP as
the transport and XML as the encoding.
XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as
possible, while allowing complex data
structures to be transmitted, processed and
returned.
9. XML-RPC
xmlrpc.com also says:
We wanted a clean, extensible format that’s very
simple. It should be possible for an HTML coder to
be able to look at a file containing an XML-RPC
call, understand what it’s doing, and be able to
modify it and have it work on the first or second
try... We also wanted it to be an easy protocol
that could quickly be adapted to run in other
environments or on other operating systems.
12. SOAP
SOAP spec:
SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of
information in a decentralized, distributed
environment. It is an XML based protocol that
consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a
framework for describing what is in a message and
how to process it, a set of encoding rules for
expressing instances of application-defined datatypes,
and a convention for representing remote procedure
calls and responses.
14. JSON-RPC
Wikipedia says:
JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call
protocol encoded in JSON. It is a very simple
protocol (and very similar to XML-RPC),
defining only a handful of data types and
commands.
21. Types of APIs
XML-RPC
SOAP Service Oriented
JSON-RPC
REST Resource Oriented
Service Oriented architectures are designed
to call methods. REST transports resources.
23. Guiding Principles
Identification of resources
Manipulation of resources through these
representations
Self-descriptive messages
Hypermedia as the Engine of Application
State (HATEOAS)
24. Identification of resources
Individual resources are identified in
requests, for example using URIs in web-
based REST systems
25. Identification of resources
Individual resources are identified in
requests, for example using URIs in web-
based REST systems
http://api.myapi.com/articles
26. Identification of resources
Individual resources are identified in
requests, for example using URIs in web-
based REST systems
http://api.myapi.com/articles
http://api.myapi.com/article/12
27. Identification of resources
Individual resources are identified in
requests, for example using URIs in web-
based REST systems
http://api.myapi.com/articles
http://api.myapi.com/article/12
http://api.myapi.com/customer/4/order/18
30. Manipulation of resources
GET
Return representation of the resource
requested
PUT
Replace representation with new
representation, or create if does not exist
34. Self-descriptive messages
Each message includes enough information to
describe how to process the message
For example, the specification of media type
through the use of the Content-Type header
35. Self-descriptive messages
Each message includes enough information to
describe how to process the message
For example, the specification of media type
through the use of the Content-Type header
Content-Type: image/jpeg
36. Self-descriptive messages
Each message includes enough information to
describe how to process the message
For example, the specification of media type
through the use of the Content-Type header
Content-Type: image/jpeg
<radius>2</radius>
Content-Type: application/xml <unit>inches</unit>
37. Self-descriptive messages
Another example are the Response Codes:
200 Okay 413 Request Entity Too Large
201 Created 415 Unsupported Media Type
303 See Other 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
401 Unauthorized 501 Not Implemented
404 Not Found many others
40. HATEOAS
Just like with HTTP, there is no maintenance
of application state.
Cookies are bad! Very, very bad!!
41. HATEOAS
Just like with HTTP, there is no maintenance
of application state.
Cookies are bad! Very, very bad!!
Related URIs should be included in
representations of resources.
