We are delighted to invite you to an interactive webinar on 'Designing and Implementing RESTful Application Protocols'. Using techniques drawn from the forthcoming O'Reilly book 'REST in Practice', Ian Robinson will show how to model business processes as domain application protocols, implement them in terms of resource lifecycles, and execute them using HTTP idioms, media types and link relation values.

REST is ready for the enterprise. Imagine an information platform that is open and available to systems throughout the enterprise estate. A platform that eschews integration in favour of composition, connected data over siloed databases. A networked data structure with the power to implement valuable business behaviours: a distributed, hypermedia-driven application platform.

Topics Covered
In this briefing, Ian Robinson will show how to design and implement RESTful application protocols for complex business processes. Challenging the notion that REST is suitable only for simple CRUD-based data services, Ian will show how to:

• Model business processes as domain application protocols
• Implement them in terms of resource lifecycles
• Advertise and execute them using HTTP idioms, media types and link relation values
