Level up with Hypermedia

In the world of web services, REST is the new black. We are starting to move away from the heavily coupled client-server interactions that came with SOAP and into a world of lighter weight, simpler REST services. But we should not be fooled.

Calling a web service RESTful does not guarantee us a loosely coupled system. To level up an API we need to shield clients from changes on the server, in essence provide a stable API over time. One way to do this is to take advantage of Hypermedia.

This session explores not only what Hypermedia is, but how to start implementing it in ASP.NET Web API.
