Beginning RESTful Web Services: A Safari Tutorial
by Safari Content TeamThis is the first of a three-part series looking at how to build RESTful web services. The series covers all aspects of REST services, from basic HTTP-level interactions, through to matching these operations in your existing code and applications, network security, and adherence for REST standards. Over the years a number of different web-based service technologies have been developed, including XML-RPC, SOAP and REST. So called RESTful services are easy to use and consume from the client side, and have a much lighter overhead for communicating and exchanging information. From a server side perspective, they can be more difficult to implement and build because of the state-less nature of the service, while generally being easier to map to existing functions, methods and internal structures. Follow along in this tutorial to learn about the fundamentals of web services, how REST fits into the web services model, and the mechanics of REST services with Java in Safari Books Online.

The unique way to rigorously structure Ring programs is also explained. Then, in the second part you’ll discover Ring inputs, outputs, and what is in between. You’ll use the basic constructs of computer logic (sequence, selection, and iteration) to build simple and complex logic flows. You’ll go over the common mistakes that lead to code complexity, by example, and cover several strategies to solve them (refactoring, code cleansing, and good variable naming). Then, you’ll see a visual illustration of how Ring deals with scopes at the local, object, and global levels. In part three, you’ll play with two artifacts vital to Ring programming: functions and objects. You’ll learn how they can be composed to solve a problem and how advanced programming paradigms, such as declarative and natural, are beautifully implemented on top of them. As part of the discussion, you’ll also work on game programming. You’ll learn how you design your game declaratively, in Ring code, just as if you were designing it in visual software. Finally, the author lays out how programming can be understood in a gamified context.
