Abstract:

Challenging the notion that REST is suitable only for simple CRUD-based data services, in this talk I show how to implement a complex business process as part of a RESTful application. Using techniques drawn from the forthcoming O'Reilly book "REST in Practice", I describe how to model business processes as domain application protocols, implement them in terms of resource lifecycles, and execute them using HTTP idioms, media types and link relation values.
