Roy T. Fielding is the Chief Scientist at Day Software Holding AG and supervises the modernization development of the infrastructure which the World Wide Web is based on.
As one of the first modern Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1) architects, co-author of internet standards for HTTP and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), as well as the founder of various Open Source software projects,amongst others, the Apache HTTP server project, his name is intrinsically tied to the development of the World Wide Web infrastructure. In his keynote address, Roy T. Fielding will pursue the question of how individual Java applets can be replaced by friendlier Web application delivery interfaces.
Roy T. Fielding is Chief Scientist for Day Software, co-founder of the Apache HTTP Server Project, and former chairman of the Apache Software Foundation. He defined the REST architectural style and wrote the standards for HTTP and URI.
SoapUI— soapUI is the premiere open-source web service testing tool with over 30.000 users worldwide. This hands-on walk-through will show you how to supercharge your web service development and testing efforts:
JSR 311 - JAX-RS The Java API for RESTful Web Services— This API will enable developers to rapidly build Web applications in Java that are characteristic of the best designed parts of the Web. This JSR will develop an API for providing REST(Representational State Transfer) support in the Java Platform. Lightweight, RESTful approaches are emerging as a popular alternative to SOAP-based technologies for deployment of services on the internet.
The State of REST vs. SOA— The debate about REST (REpresentational State Transfer) as an alternative to SOAP has been going on for several years now - with more and more respect for the REST point of view in the recent past. While many will agree that a RESTful approach is a better match for Web 2.0-style, public-facing Internet services, it's still often questioned how REST could be applied to 'Enterprise' scenarios. This talk will briefly summarize the REST principles behind the Web's architecture, and then show how an enterprise scenario can benefit from the properties that have made the Web a success.
XFire Web Services— Learn how to build, test and secure web services with XFire as well as some of the upcoming features including REST & JSON support. This talk seeks to give you the basic knowledge on how to get your self started writing web services with XFire.
SOA sans SOAP— In this presentation you'll see how POX-based services can provide the same functionality as the latest SOAP extensions, and even support inter operation with SOAP through adapters. Wash the SOAP out of your eyes and you'll learn to look at Web services from an entirely new perspective.
