The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) powers the World Wide Web. Every web page requested and displayed in a web browser is delivered via HTTP. But HTTP can facilitate all sorts of client/server communication. In this talk, Brian Turnbull will discuss and present the major aspects of the protocol for application to your own projects.
Next month, Brian will present the second part of the presentation, "RESTful Web Services". REpresentational State Transfer is the theoretical underpinnings of HTTP/1.1. This talk will explain what REST is, present examples of existing web services using REST, and also covers the practical application of REST and the Atom Publishing Protocol in creating a web service.
