Workshop topic:
Designing Advanced HTTP APIs

Time & Date:
June 4th, online | TBD

About deep dive session:

You've built your first HTTP API, and it's looking pretty good! You've done GET and PUT and POST, you've mapped out all your URLs, maybe you've even figured out what PATCH means... but it turns out there's a lot more to APIs than GET, PUT and POST. Let's talk about how you can use some of the more obscure features of HTTP to support all kinds of advanced scenarios. We'll talk about caching and invalidating cached content using headers and ETags; about REST and hypermedia controls, about how to build powerful, flexible APIs using content negotiation and resource expansion. Finally, we'll discuss some scenarios where an HTTP API might not be the best choice, and what alternatives we can use in those situations.
