Agile Architectures with Web Services & REST

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) promises greater business agility by leveraging reusable Services. However, for many organizations, their SOA initiatives haven’t lived up to this promise. One of the primary contributors to this lack of success has been the challenge of leveraging Web Services, a complex, verbose set of open standards that vendors have adopted in an often piecemeal fashion.

To help address the shortcomings of Web Services, Representational State Transfer (REST) has arisen as a Web-centric, lightweight alternative. However, REST presents its own challenges as well. This course explains both the myths and realities of REST. Understand REST’s four architectural constraints, with an in-depth look at HATEOAS: Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State. Learn about the architectural context of REST, including intermediaries and compositions with REST and the differences between REST-Based SOA and Web Services-Based SOA.
