RESTful Web Services with Ruby on Rails

REST, short for REpresentational State Transfer, is a name for the architectural principles underlying the world’s largest and most successful distributed system - the World Wide Web. Ruby, specifically within the Rails framework, offers excellent support for REST: A dynamic language is especially suited for the Web’s dynamic nature. In this talk, Stefan will describe the key REST principles, the reason for their existence, and the differences between RESTful HTTP applications and SOAP/WSDL-based Web services. Next, the support for REST included in the Ruby on Rails framework will be introduced and a sample application exploring the REST style’s benefits will be built.
